Ok, to go back to the original post, no personally i dont think this is such a big threat as there will be thousands of little survivors that will mature.

Darters does not feed that much per day as they also eat stones and rocks to help them with their digestive system bcause of eating fish whole.

Thats more like a pond?

How many fish is he planning to stock in there?

 

I think that's exacly why it's affecting the bass population. He had plenty fish in there. 5 casts would get you 2 fish most probally. I remeber telling him that the place is overstocked at one stage but i havn't been there recently so not to sure about quantities anymore.

If I had to state my true beliefs on this subject I'd brobably be dragged over the coals big time. I really enjoy my bass fishing, but guys these fish are not part of our natural ecosystem. If anything indigenous is going to eat a bass then simply leave it to do so. So many bass fisherman watch wildlife programmes about farmers struggling to keep livestock while predatory cats kill them. Those same people think it's dispicable for a farmer to want to shoot a Cheetah, but ag what's a silly little bird anyway?? There is no difference I'm afraid. They were here first and bass came second.

Personally I think it's piss poor that someone kills an indigenous bird species to protect his alien fish. No wonder the government wants to eradicate bass from SA.

You can also tell this guy that the African Darter is a monogamous bird which means that the bird finds and breeds with one partner for the rest of its life.

My 2c
I support you on this 100%, even if it was indeginous fish what is the point of killing a bird and then practising catch & release.
