Two possibilities.

A) That as you have stated is correct, that the bottom 20% of this batch has

not been culled out efficiently or not at all and

B) That the fry have been fed onto a #1 or less diet too early and that the

gape could not accommodate feeds and hence deformities in the jaw have

developed. This is not uncommon in rushed batches of product.

I am not familiar with the morphology of  Areua but could pretty well say

this is one of two possible causes.
