Just for grins I plugged in a 99% survival rate into the spreadsheet I use for monitoring my tilapia reproduction and ended up with around 15 million
I guess with some aggressive rounding I could have a billion.
Realistically, I think brood rates of about 50 are more accurate, and I read where a 35% cannibalism rate is normal when they become crowded.
Regardless of the numbers, they are guaranteed to up the RW's of predators. To me they are the backbone of my pond and the and most valuable component of my pond management strategy.
