Don't expect your retention pond BG to grow nearly as big as normal unstunted BG. Stunted fish will grow but they will never get as big as a BG that was never stunted. For the total loss of growth during its life, that growth is lost forever, although with new abundant food the fish will again grow but may not live very much longer depending on how old it was when transferred to a new pond. If your goal is not big BG for these retention pond BG then transferring is acceptable.
