Personally, a three day period as the basis for making conclusions and writing a paper seems a little short on duration, IMHO.
After five years, I still learn about Tilapia behavior every season. I can't say to the degree that BG eat the Tilapia fry vs LMB or other predators. I can say based on my experience, they all (BG and LMB) benefit from Tilapia in my ponds. BG predation would help explain the mathematical analysis I posted awhile back as one of the means which helps keep the Tilapia numbers from exploding in my ponds.
