1. The pond is 18 feet deep with farily steep banks. There is a good amount of latoral zone for spawning and such on one side.
2. The pond does not have a lake bottom aeration YET. We are installing one in the spring,
3. I can check those temps and put that on here tomorrow.
4. The majority of the YP that are dying are the large size (8" avg) There have been some smaller (6") YP dying, but not commonly.
I am fairly confident that simply adding an aeration system will help the stress level of the YP, but not sure if it will "fix" the problem fully.
