Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Georgia Giants, I'm getting suspicious

Deb (Georgia Giant Man) is working on getting us more photos and hopefully fresh ones. They are draining or will soon drain a pond on the hatchery site where they have some older GGs and she will be there with her camera and tape measure. I think many people will want GG's if they can grow them to 2+ pounds. If they can grow them to 3+ lbs many more with want them. I see them as having a niche especially in the aquaculture fish market. Ohio (Ohio State Univ affiliate) is currently growing GG, regular hybrid bgill, & pure bgill in recirculating indoor tanks for a growth rate study. I have contacted the project manager for some more details.

I am going to try and get some from the northern supplier next spring and raise them in a cage in Ohio where I can get about as good of growth rate as compared to when they "free range" in a pond. I'll get some northern data on GGs.
