According to the links in this post It's 95%-99% survival.
Then why can't I yeet a bunch of goldfish
Technique I imagine.
Skill issue
Who's stopping you?
MAKE your DREAMS come TRUE
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.

Have a pilots license?
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

I wonder what the "fuck that hurt" rate is for these fishes
...that sounds to me like "survive the fall" more than "survive the week"
People ITT must've forgotten about the salmon cannon.
I have never seen this and thank you for sharing it because good god I needed it.
I'm gonna keep that typo. 😈
Not sure I can let you get awat with that.
Honestly it fits. It reads like "bombs awWAT"
Carpet bombing
Unacceptable on lemmy
Good thing I love a little sabotage.

From another similar post, introducing fish to a large body of water has to be done like this or else the fish don't understand or acclimate properly and die. It's a slap to the noggin like "hey wakey wakey, go find some algae to nibble on"
How do they stop the little parachutes from sliding off?
Just make sure the strap between the legs is tight enough.
Gotta weed out the weak ones with the fall.
So, if I understand you correctly, what you're saying is - given the quite large body of water about half a mile away from me, all downhill, I should get a giant catapult and fling some piranha.
I'll go down in history, either for the best April Fools joke ever, or if my aim is off, the best Halloween prank ever 🐟🐠🐟😁
The famous flying fish.
Bombs Awash
I mean, that’s just Utah… Good chance it’s not up to speed
I'm guessing only a few need to survive
