ML brings up a very good point about the goals of the study. Gator should decide on the goal for the study. However if the goal is to only determine what is the growth rate and maybe the life span of GG then additional advice about the methods to use may be advisable.

After re-reading the first few pages of this topic, maybe the goal of Gator has changed somwhat after he found out or realized what all was involved with Ken et.al.'s complete stocking philosophy.

PS - At least some people are completely reading my posts.
