Winter Fish Kill Prevention

As a pond or lake freezes, diffusion of oxygen from the air above is cut off. If snow builds up on the ice, or the ice becomes hazy, light can't penetrate the ice and the production of oxygen by plants is cut off as well. When this happens, not only is there no winter oxygen production, the dying plants are broken down by bacteria that also consume oxygen. As the fish and bacteria consume what's left of the oxygen, the levels quickly plummet.

In winter months, non-aerated ponds exhibit a type of reverse-stratification in their water column. The water is warmer, and slightly denser at the bottom. By installing a winter pond aeration system with The Lake Doctor, the warmer water can be brought to the surface to melt a hole in the ice and create an area of open water to aid in gas exchange and increase winter oxygen levels. The size of the hole created in the ice is dependent on several factors including, but not limited to, air temperature, depth and amount of airflow.

It is important to install Air Stations in an area where water depth is not at its deepest.

Due to the fact that in the winter water is warmer closer to the bottom, this is where the fish will generally seek refuge from the extreme cold. If this water is brought to the surface and circulated, it is possible to "super-cool" the water and cause stress to your fish, possibly resulting in a fish kill. By placing your Air Stations in shallower water you can preserve this deeper, warmer, safe haven for your fish while still opening a hole for gas exchange.
