The pond was incorrectly designed in having too much watershed area. Expect flooding to allow fish to escape. Some will swim out some will stay. Which ones stay will likely depend on outflow depth and length of time water flows out. I doubt any studies have been done on ponds for this topic. IMO is stock, then live and learn. Angling, fish trapping &/or seining and keeping catch records will allow you to monitor and get a good idea of what species and sizes remain in the pond.
