Creation date: April 1989

Intensive fish production often involves adding large amounts of commercial feeds and inorganic fertilizers to ponds. Nutrients introduced into the water through feeds and fertilizers often create an ideal habitat for aquatic weed growth. Submersed aquatic weeds are particularly undesirable because fish harvesting seines will ride up over the weeds and allow fish to escape, the weight of the weeds accumulating in the seine can become too great to be pulled, and separating fish from weeds is a slow process and can severely stress the fish.
