ODNR at it again, egg harvest at mosquito

Very interesting post, Ezbite. Do the guys from ODNR have any idea how many fertilized eggs they end up placing in the lake, and how many actually hatch and survive to reach maturity (defined by me as catchable sized fish) Also wonder if releasing them all in the same place (boat ramp) makes any difference in how many survive. Not sure what might eat the fry or infect the fertilized egg as they develop/hatch, but if they are all released in the same area, I would imagine that selecting the release point would be important to improve the odds. Just the way my goofy mind works, always have to ask questions that probably have no answers

The eggs go to 3 different hatcheries to grow, Senecaville, Hebron and st Mary’s

Thanks for the explanation, I watched the videos and saw them dumping what looked like the fertilized eggs into the water at the boat ramp, guess I didn't watch close enough
