Yes, that is how I understood it. You are recommending that the OP grow fry in a 1/10 acre fry production pond for grow out in the 1 acre pond to 3" in length. Two cycles of 50,000 3" fingerlings are the goal. To work, the 1/10 acre fry production pond must produce the amount fry needed to stock the grow out pond. With 100% survival the enumerated fry would have to be 50,000. With 70% survival to 3" the enumerated fry per cycle would need to be 71,500 fry. So a good estimate of survival and reliable enumeration is part of this recommendation. As I said before, I think this would work if the 1/10 acre fry production pond produces a sufficient number of fry per cycle. FWIW, I am totally OK with the OP following this path if that is what he wants to do.
