SAE are stocked throughout KS in fisheries with WCP/BCP population issues and they not only grow exceptionally fast but improve the CP WR significantly. Both are pelagic so they are especially vulnerable to SAE predation. HSB and SAE stocking would serve as a great combo for fishery scenarios like this.
