Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Controlling unwanted plants American Pondweed

I am familiar with a lot of common names for species in the "pondweed family". Can't find this one. Anyone know the scientific name for American pondweed so I can look it up?

I will add another "wrench" or idea for weed management in ponds. I conclude that smaller bodies of water are often fished too hard or harvested too heavily or improperly. Excessive weed growth can limit or reduce the amount of fishing pressure a water body receives and the fish get a respet or "break" during the weedy season. In a few cases like this excesive weed growth may actually benefit the overall fishery. Fisherman quickly get discouraged when havieng to contend with lots of weeds and look for other easier to fish places.
Just a thought.
