Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Creating the food chain Base of the Food Chain

Very possible on the spawning not being in the exact order. Pretty confident that the YP go first followed by the LMB and then the rest. I was leaning more to the bottom of the chain with zooplankton / daphnia. It was interesting to see the daphnia specifically called out in a couple of studies being nearly depleted and before they could recover the next series of fish spawned which caused the bottleneck in forage as the bottom of the chain ultimately causing slower growth.

Haven't seen much here on that topic so I thought I would post to see "if it's a thing".
