No question the Gobi impact nesting bass and egg survival rates and other fish reproductive success, as well. Prior to the Gobi, other aggressive species were considered a detriment to various fisheries such as the alewife. The truth is that our Lake O and SLR ecosystem is far more dynamic and resilient than we give it credit for. And any larger ecosystem for that matter. These things take some time to balance out but they do. My simple minded opinion is that abundant forage yields larger breeding fish which produces significantly greater egg production per fish which balances survival rates. Time will tell but that is my optimistic spin on our amazing natural resources. Tight lines to all!
