UAC Meeting Updates
#15
One other tidbit for consideration. You will hear guys talk about "biomass" and "carrying capacity". The biologists that work on Utah Lake tell us that 90% of the fish biomass is carp. If the eradication program reduces the carp numbers by say, 50%, then that leaves a void in the the amount of fish that the lake can hold. Since our beloved June sucker doesn't seem too capable of rapid reproduction at the moment, it is reasonable that game fish will step up and utilize the added groceries, and increase their population (and/or size) up to 50% of the biomass, and with that, give us much better fishing.

At least that is how the principle is written up in your average biology 101 textbook.
