Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Newbie, Looking for help (alternate scud thread)

I agree witjh the comments of "bz" who said: I think it is very possible that they've qoted the wrong species. The ponds I've seen on the PLM property are just shallow sloughs so I can't believe they stay very cold. I don't "know" if that's where they actually raise them but I don't know of any trout waters anywhere near where they are located. And if they are selling them to attract ducks they are selling them for stocking into shallow sloughs. Doesn't add up.

Something is wrong in this picture so far. One possibility is the scuds are G.lacustris and they have a strain that is adapted to warmer water or they assumed the species that were thriving for them were G.lacustris. They may be growing the species that is more tolerant of warmer water - Gammarus fasciatus. Another possibility is the shallow water where they raise their scuds have seepages from underground springs that provide cool water refugia in summer.
