What to do with all the fish afterwards ??
Remove as many dead fish as possible;; no matter how much work it takes because the nutrient release and nutrient recycling will fertilize the pond system from 6,000 lbs of dead fish so close to 10,000 to 20,000 lbs or more of weeds and algae will be stimulated and grow. Dealing with this plant problem will be more costly than removing 6,000lbs of dead fish. Removing the dead fish is very beneficial because it slows the aging process of the pond system. Harvest of fish or plants always removes accumulated nutrients that are long term a big cause of more plant problems and muck accumulation (pond aging).
