I accidentally discovered what you said about turtles. They move along the bottom of the pond and in doing so disturb the decayed matter there that apparently has CO2 trapped. You can follow their movements by watching the bubbles.
I had a massive fish kill last year caused by too much coon tail moss and blue green algae. I was able to kill off the algae with copper sulphate CuSO4, and the moss which had completely choked my pond with Aquathol Super K Granular from Aquacide Company, 800 328 9350. The Super K is extremely efficient and it doesn't take much. I bought 2ea 25# buckets (a little smaller than the size of a 5 gallon bucket) and treated my 2 acre pond the initial kill off and a little touch up after......I'm not even down to the half way mark on the first bucket. The stuff is outrageously expensive, but not if you use it as directed it isn't, so don't over do it when you buy it like I did. I have enough to last me the rest of my life.
It's been almost a year now and I only have maybe a dozen little blobs of moss that I can detect at the surface. I am impressed. The perch weren't affected by the kill off and I restocked catfish this past winter. I have been feeding them and have a thriving fish population currently. With no predators left to bother them the little guys are doing great.
The Copper Sulfate can be purchased at a building supply center.

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
