Fertilizing your pond can greatly increase fish production. Adding nutrients to your pond will stimulate growth of the phytoplankton, which are the foundation of the food web in your pond.

This clip features a discussion of what type of fertilizer, how much fertilizer, and how to measure effectiveness of fertilizer in your pond. The presentation was part of a Farm Pond Construction and Management workshop near Haughton, Louisiana. The presenter is Kevin Houston of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.
