It follows early-morning pond surveys and troubleshooting fish survival problems in cold weather, raccoon visits, and oxygen concerns. The narrative explains a rugged 10-week training with high dropout rates, emphasizes culture shock and loss of personal control, and highlights training in fish transport, seining, stocking, breeding, pond construction, fertilization, and feeding.
