If they had good results with the "Early spawning of the walleye and hybrids gave us an extra six weeks of culture time", why can't the same methods be used for YP, thus producing a larger finished YP product at year's end? IMO the YP are a lot easier and more successful to feed train than walleye and its hybird.
That's what I thought Bill. I also think selective breeding of yellow perch can produce larger fish, as in the research they are doing at Piketon. I've even produced perch that would have been large enough to fillet in a years time if I had brought them indoors during the winter.
It kind of reminds me of those that said you couldn't get a bluegill up to market size in a year, or the hybrid bluegills grow faster. That's been proven wrong.
However I've listened to a seminar by Jim and talked to him personally. He is very knowledgeable and knows his stuff.
