Got my buddy in CO set up with the first WAE eggs of the year today. Got 328,000 started today which is a great start filling an entire hatching jar with 4qts of eggs!
Will he do better than 50% survival to stocking?[/quot

Good, viable eggs properly fertilized and cleaned of fungus will net 75% hatch rate. WAE have to be stocked out in grow outs or lakes 3 days post hatch.
I was talking about what % will get to stocking size, accounting for post hatching mortality and cannibalism.
