Control of Certain Aquatic Weeds in Missouri Farm Ponds
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 June 2017
Extract
The control of submersed aquatic weeds is a major problem in the management of Missouri fish ponds. Dense stands of aquatic vegetation in ponds cause serious crowding and stunting of fish populations. Recreational values are impaired by the physical interference of weeds with fishing and boating. Even more serious are the occasional partial or complete kills of fish caused by oxygen depletion as plants decay. These kills may occur either in summer or winter.
