Your arguments are concentrating on larger more natural ponds with a balanced self supporting micro environment. The majority of garden ponds are overstocked with fish and do not have the supporting system to neutralise waste. I appreciate Fish will go into a semi torbid state however they still require some oxygen and an ice covering must reduce the capacity of the water to hold sufficient oxygen for long periods of ice cover.
