I am a firm believer in some aeration is better than none. You have a refuge or place the fish that are looking for more air a place to go. Nature is not stupid.

If your into turning your pond over for more fish capacity then I would expect you need to do the whole pond.

A refuge is better than trying to save the pond with rotary mower stuffed half in the pond adding air to it or another creative way to agitate the water.

Cheers Don.
