Yes, it does it. It also works with normal fish too
The other night I was redesigning my base so needed to clear out the tanks. I had been nurturing those stalkers for weeks in my tank. I gave them creepvines, peepers to eat - anything they wanted! So I exit in my seamoth and head a little way from my base, savouring my last moments with these faithful sea-dogs and thinking how proud I am as a parent that my little ones are ready to head out in to the big wide world and make a future for themselves.
As I exit the 'moth, I pull the sack round from my side and gently unlace it. The first stalkers snout peeks out. Off he goes! *SO PROUD*
The second snout. But before it even leaves the sack, a third, a fourth, a fifth. Suddenly they tumble from my bag, and in the panic one seizes my leg. Daggers of pain make me freeze. I want to tell them it will be ok, but as I look up from my leg I see smiling crocodile teeth in every corner of my vision.
As I start to panic, confused at my babies behaviour, I thrust my limbs towards the seamoth. Just as my fingers could feel the cold of the hatch handle I heard a *clang*. I never comprehended that they had purposefully bumped the craft away from me. I never had time. I was nothing more than a red stain in the water by the time the last stalker wriggled free of the sack...
I regularly drop excess airbags and reginalds from my tanks just outside my main base hatch. Whenever I go off exploring and come back, a few have presumably been eaten. I seeded the wreck in kelp forest with stalkers, sandsharks and bonesharks and every time I return it is a little bit sparser, as they seem to kill each other off.
The thing to bear in mind is you can seed areas with your raised fish, but it is not a closed system and they can move, die, eat other fish you wanted to keep etc. If you drop 10 stalkers at your base, expect maybe 8 to still be there when you return from a trip.
ps. if you do this, also drop a couple of metal scraps and you will find the outside of your base littered in stalker teeth.
