I found a dead trout floating in the pond yesterday. I was really surprised, as I thought they were all gone two months ago. From it's state of decomposition I would guess 2 to 3 days old. However, I am wondering if it is possible that it died a month or two ago and it sank to the bottom, then surfaced. Seems like the turtles would have at least dove down and pulled it up. Could it have stayed that well preserved if the pond's bottom wasn't oxygenated?
