Answer
Hi Joan,
Thanx for your questions.  Can you tell me where you live?  What kind of winter have you had?  Have you examined the carcasses of the fish to see if there was any disease or injury.  Your pond may be over crowded too.  Is there ice on top of it?  Please answer these questions for me.
thx,
Tom
