If you regularly feed the spotfins(SFS) ground or crushed fish pellets your production of them will increase significantly just as it does with feeding the sport fish. SFS readily accept fish food that has the right sizes of particles. If one wants more minnows / shiners to survive then increase dense cover habitat and reduce number of predators. One can't expect to grow lots of chickens in a pen if you have some foxes in the pen eating them. It is a predator - prey arrangement with a balance needed for both to thrive together. One needs to imitate the balance of nature and natural co-existing populations.
