I know it would be temporary.. but my thought is that hopefully the juveniles would grow fast enough that they would become too large for a tadpole to nail. Maybe not.
Yes, edible - I've been wanting to try this since I got out of college (took aquaculture courses there) but never had the opportunity. Now I do and am excited about what I *might* get out of it. Saw some freshwater shrimp in the freezer section of Walmart the other day, nice looking ones too. Hoping for 16-20 per pound (fat guys) with a 120 day growing season. Also saw a report on studies from the University of Nebraska regarding the use of old hog barn pits for growout tanks (do these shrimp taste funny to you???
).
At the end there might be either a HUGE shrimp boil or a freezer full of fat ducks :p
Thanks for the thoughts
