Lime and fertilizer do wonders for the average ponds fish supporting capacity, especially in the deep south. Take a soil sample and get it tested, specify you want pond plankton and water PH reccomendations, MSU probably has an aquaculture department, I know LSU does. I would not use triple 13, either super phosphate 0-46-0, or a low nitrogen, high phosphate blend like 10-52-4 which is common for some green house applications, at any rate, the phosphate is the important nutrient to encourage plankton instead of algae. Insects eat the plankton and fish eat the insects. Lime is real important as a catalsyt to the whole chain. Once you have a program going your water should turn blue/green and have about one foot of visability, when you can see two feet down it is time to fertilize again, usually takes 2-3 applications a few weeks apart to get started but the good news is it only takes around 5 pounds per acre per application. I will emphasize lime one more time because you won't get anywhere without it if the pond needs it.
