Bathymetric Map Area: 12406.40 m 2 Volume of Pond: 13276.66 m 3 Bank Full Volume: 22753.06 m 3 Volume w/ Sediment: 14448.21 m 3
13
Sediment Volume Rate of Sedimentation: 8.58 mm per year
14
Discussion Monomictic or Dimictic ? Isothermal conditions at time of survey Problems associated Seasonal fluctuations Daily fluctuations due to P/S and respiration (night vs. day) The pond as a fishery Consequences of shallow depth Aeration Lack of macrophytes Seasonal temperature tolerance of fish species Very warm summers Freezing in winter
15
Suggestions More suitable fish species More suitable fish species Habitat improvement Habitat improvement Changes in aeration Changes in aeration etc etc
