Never known of using Urea in ponds as N is rarely the missing element. We use it on food plots for deer and turkey. What is usually missing in ponds (water) is the P of NPK fertilizer(no pun intended). In aquatic organisms the most common form of nitrogen waste is ammonia, while land-dwelling organisms convert the toxic ammonia to either urea or uric acid. Urea is found in the urine of mammals and amphibians, as well as some fish. Ammonia (NH3) is another common byproduct of the metabolism of nitrogenous compounds. Ammonia is smaller, more volatile and more mobile than urea. If allowed to accumulate, ammonia would raise the pH in cells to toxic levels. Therefore many organisms convert ammonia to urea, even though this synthesis has a net energy cost. Being highly soluble in water urea if converted to ammonia can cause problems in ponds.
