  According to the links in this post It’s 95%-99% survival.

        And in a similar but completely different way, the fish are being added to massive bodies of water. Home aquariums are minute in comparison, so they can’t balance out chemical swings as easily and are much more prone to higher levels of nitrites and other toxic chemicals. The larger the body of water, the more stable the water quality.

        something i love about Lemmy is that on the drop of a hat someone is willing to calculate the “surface area to fish ratio”

        The math actually works, and is quite simple. Just assume the fish is a sphere

        I’m confused though. Don’t people use this to talk about how small things like bugs can fall from a large height and be uninjured, but large things like a human or elephant will be injured if falling from a height? I feel like what you’re saying is backwards to what the internet has told me.

      You can yeet goldfish. Carp are stupid tough. It’s the tropical fish we often keep that are kinda wimpy. Also, they’re not coming from a super healthy environment (the store) to our tanks.

        I would watch carp throwing as a competitive sport, they aren’t going to make it easy

      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.

      One reason is because the hatcheries are in the same general area as the lakes, so conditions are pretty similar. The temperature will be about the same at the same depths as the hatchery, and the water comes from the same source.

      Try to fly higher above the tank and see if it helps

    I wonder what the “duck that hurt” rate is for these fish

    …that sounds to me like “survive the fall” more than “survive the week”
