Oxygen-deprived high organic pond?

Following on from my previous post, I've been doing research (wikipedia) and have found the 'Rat Tailed Maggots' live in Oxygen-deprived water with high organic content?

This is despite having pond snails to control the algae and curly pond weed for oxygenation.

Does this mean our pond is in poor health? If so, is there anything we can do about it? Or will it sort itself out.
It is a small wildlife pond and does not contain fish.

Thanks

Richard
