Yellow perch eggs are not sticky. YP eggs do not adhere. Ribbons rest or hang on structure. Eggs are imbedded in a gelatinous matrix that is not sticky. It has been tested and shown the egg ribbons have an offensive flavor. Ducks on my pond will not eat the YP eggs. I have seen bullfrog tadpoles on the egg ribbons but do not know if they are eating the eggs.
