With your biomass still being low, you most likely won't have any issues this winter with DO since you've got decent depth at 9.5 feet, but since your pond completely freezes over, you might want to be thinking about future aeration if for nothing else than keeping an area open to allow gasses to escape the pond when it gets iced over.

Once your biomass gets heavier, it'll be more important to prevent a winter kill.
