Amount of feed depends on how many fish you are feeding. More = more.
Ponds can be easily maintained without feeding pellets. The pellets cause more fish to be raised, often more larger fish, and often faster growing fish. To do it without feeding one just has to raise a lot fewer fish so there is always lot of forage food items (small fish and invertebrates) to feed the few remaining fish well. It depends on goals but you can't have it both ways i.e. natural foods and lots of big quality fish. Lower fertility and Natural foods = few quality fish per acre.
