    Maybe 95% survive, but how many are injured in a way that might impact their quality of life?

    Since these are being dropped specifically for the purpose of being caught and killed asap, quality of life might not matter.

    For your sad little goldfish, please be gentle!

      Also, gotta think about whether 5% mortality rate is acceptable.

      For an airdrop number of pond fish? Sure!

      For your hobbyist number of expensive fish? Absolutely not

      My understanding is these are juvenile fish that will be caught as adults, so they will live for a while.
