Mike:

Just like feeding high quality dog food, the more it can be metabolized by the fish, the less goes out the other end, and the less "pooper scooper" duty you have. In a pond that equates to less stuff to grow plants/algae.

I've heard some numbers tossed around and you'd be amazed at how much goes out the other end........
