1) Visit to the Mount Pleasant, PA hatchery was discussed. This hatchery raises 20,000 tigers and 60,000 pures. Numbers provided by hatchery:
a) It takes five pounds of minnows to feed one pound of fingerlings.
b) One pound of 3” minnows contains quantity 300-350
c) One pound of 3” minnows costs apx $1.00
d) One pound of fingerlings is 15-20 fish
So, that being said….if $5.00 feeds 1 pound (20 fingerlings)
a) 3000 fingerlings (150 pounds) x 3 feedings = $2250
b) 15,000 fingerlings (750 pounds) x 1 feeding= $3750
c) 20,000 tigers (1000 pounds) x 1 feeding = $5000
