A co-worker lives in a development that is in the process of killing the fish in the lake to start all over again. Like many ponds like this, there are all sorts of "helpful" neighbors that "donate" all sorts of fish, so it is hard telling what is in it. Here is the problem. They have been drawing down the pond and on Saturday they are going to "shock it to bring the fish to the surface." I assume they are using Rotenone. The residents are being told that the fish will be safe to eat if you net them up as soon as they start floating. My questions are thus: Are the fish safe to eat? Could there be some other way to wipe out the pond to start over?
