Can increased kokanee stocking be used to offset increasing lake trout predation?

No, this is not the answer. The number of kokanee stocked in Blue Mesa was increased several times since 1990 and each time predation increased to compensate. Unfortunately, lake trout predation demand has grown faster than the CDOW's ability to make more kokanee.

Now the Roaring Judy Hatchery, which stocks Blue Mesa, is running at maximum capacity and kokanee numbers in the reservoir are still falling. Increased stocking is rarely the answer to predation problems because adding more food simply grows more predators which means you need to add more food to satisfy them and that grows more predators which means you need to add more food... It's a vicious cycle, and you can't win. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
