Salting pond is the simplest necessary action to be taken. Some people ignore that because they are not aware of its importance.   Salting ponds helps in improving the water condition for the fishes , Controls & Prevents mortality from brown blood disease , Increases chloride level and Chloride concentration to 6 times that of nitrite in the water. Salt effectively controls protozoans on the skin and gills of fish; it also enhances mucus production Salt is also used for  parasite control  as we know there would be other water creatures in the water before our fishes arrive their new home. It's perfect if we clear the pond properly.

We all know that generally, plants make use of carbon dioxide and releases oxygen so that would be the exchange between the fishes and the plants. These plants also serve as an organic form of fish food and maintain the water quality for the fishes. For the floating plants like the Water Lettuce and Duckweed, they can also serve as a form of security against human predators for those of who have our ponds located away from us. These weed multiply in millions on their own so they can cover the entire pond.    ST...
