I have a 1.25 acre excavated sandpit pond. The average depth is 15ft, with some sections 20ft deep. I am in a low lying area on Maryland's Eastern Shore, and the pond is filled with ground water.
I'm curious about the feasibility of keeping rainbow trout in cages during the summer, utilizing a small pump to pump water from the cold, deep pond bottom into the cage. Could I use a venturi valve, a spray bar or other means to off gas anything bad and oxygenate the water as it enters the cage. I'm guessing there is a magic flow through volume that would provide sufficient cold water to keep the fish alive, yet be slow enough to not completely mix / de-stratify the pond.
Thought?
