What is the effect of increased nitrate concentration in a fresh water pond on the algal population growth in that pond?
Nitrate is the N in the NPK of fertilizer. Algae is a plant just as grass is. So just as you add fertilizer to get your lawn to grow, an increase of nitrate in a pond will increase the aglal population. (This is the simple answer. Other variables may be what/how many "higher plants" are already in the pond, what is the temperature of the water, and how much sunlight the pond gets. Understand that all the conditions must be there for the algae to grow -- not just the availability of food.) www.rosepond.com
Is it true that if a pond has too many plants and fish the fish will die?
Yes, if a pond becomes overcrowded with plants and fish, it can lead to a lack of oxygen in the water due to excess decaying organic matter and respiration by the fish. This can potentially result in a decrease in water quality and the death of fish. Maintaining a balanced ecosystem with appropriate stocking levels of fish and management of plant growth is important for the health of the pond.
What determines whether pond water is too acidic to support plant life?
A pH meter

What organisims are in a pond?

What is the link between fish and pond weed growth?
Protection and pruning are the links between fish and pond weed growth. Fish function as defenders of pond weeds against excessive predation by water-dwelling arthropods. They also serve as pruners through removal of counterproductive or excess growth.
What happens when there are too many nitrates and phosphates in a pond?
Nitrates and phosphates are fertilizers, and therefore if you have too much of them in a pond, it will become choked with an excessive growth of algae.
How does pond scum eat?
Pond scum consists of algae. Algae is an autotroph, meaning they do not need to eat. Instead, they produce food internally from carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight using photosynthesis.Pond scum is a algae, a plant. It needs sunlight. If you want to not have pond scum, you need to aerate the water. Avoid plant fertilizers as they will just make the pond scum grow faster.
