Wind increases aeration
Water temperature is generally chasing air temperature. Wind hastens this process.
Heavy wind can cause stratified water to turn over.
Wind decreases sunlight penetration into the water column.
Wind decreases UV penetration into the water column.
Wind creates zones for fish to feed because it disorients zooplankton.
Wind lifts sediments off the bottom of the pond which can facilitate feedings by zooplankton and smaller fishes.
