"How to" can be improved by understanding "how it" happens. Understanding biology of systems / ponds you are interested in can help make informed decisions in how to manage. I have managed ponds quite a bit and many are for recreational fishing purposes, like more here. The process is a lot more rewarding when you can conceptualize what is going on at the level of individual animals and how it interacts with their life cycle.
Petroleum products I use are not derived from dinosaurs, at least not on any appreciable level.
