No, Canadian pondweed is not beneficial for fish even though yes, it briefly has the advantage of serving as early spring food. But the aquatic plant in question (Potamogeton crispus) loses any appeal as a early food source because of its aggressive invasiveness and aquatic plunderings (through algal bloom facilitation, dead mat stages, phosphorus overdoses).
