Absolutely nothing Mike.

Big fish will always produce more eggs than small fish.


Regardless of the weather.

saw a tv show comparing the amount of
energy used by a mouse and an elephant

even though the elephant was 200,000 times
bigger than the mouse

it only used 10,000 times as much energy

so my point is.... the larger the breeder fish is
the less energy they need to expend in order to survive
