Rapid change in the pond is always difficult. Because the fish population increases with good feeding stopping feeding without fish removal (harvest) will lead to undernourished fish in bad condition. Same with all productive aspects to pond mgt such as fertilization. Some studies indicate that feed raised fish from birth do not do well when put into a normal pond where existing fish are used to foraging on natural food with a little sup feeding.
