ponds are usually large. The smallest pond is a half acre in size.
A pond this small may hold 1,250 fish! Fish farmers must keep
the ponds very clean and keep the right amount of fish in each
pond. To help the farmer do this, aerators, or pumps that move
water, are put into the ponds. Aerators help keep oxygen in the
water and algae from growing on top of it. |
