As for math, I think I am more of the thinking that I will take whatever the pond provides so I don't have a set goal as to how many pounds I want or need. I certainly don't want to overfish it and compromise the system.

I am, however, curious how many pounds the pond can provide. Can you give me an idea, using the math, about how much I can realistically expect from a 1/2 acre pond with No aeration and no feeding?
