Pond fertilizer increases the small, green, single-cell plants called phytoplankton (this is what gives your pond a green tint). Tiny insects called zooplankton eat phytoplankton. These little insects are eaten by larger insects, which are then eaten by bluegill. The bluegill are eaten by bass and BAM!
They must also take special care in handling fish and preparing the pond. Zooplankton is required as a first food for many cultured fish; for others it contributes to faster growth and higher survival. -SRAC Publication No. 700, Zooplankton Succession and Larval Fish Culture in Freshwater Ponds.

Ponds under FLIFS-II and FLIFS-I were found to contain significantly higher concentration of zooplanktons (131±12 no l−1 and 128±11 no l−1, respectively) than NIFLFS (27 ± 2 no l−1). The identified...

ZOOPLANKTON AS LIVE FOOD FOR FRY AND FINGERLINGS OF NILE TILAPIA (OREOCHROMIS NILOTICUS) AND CATFISH (CLARIAS GARIEPINUS) IN CONCRETE PONDS 758 al., 2004). When O niloticus in semi-intensive ponds are supplemented with low-protein feeds, dietary protein is largely provided by the natural food. Hepher (1988)

Zooplankton and Fresh Water: Here are the facts – IISD ...
Zooplankton are small animals that live in the water column of almost all water bodies, including oceans, lakes and ponds, although they mostly cannot survive in rivers and streams. In lakes and ponds, the most common groups of zooplankton include Cladocera and Copepods (which are both micro-crustaceans), rotifers and protozoans.
