  Biosystems Analysis Group - POND
POND was written to provide educators, extension agents, managers, planners and researchers with a tool for rapidly analyzing aquaculture systems under different management regimes, and to assist in the development of optimal management strategies.
Pond analysis is accomplished primarily by the use of simulation models combined with an economics package that can be used to generate enterprise budgets for a pond facility.
Pond management scenarios supported include the ability to vary stocking densities and/or species combinations, specify stocking and harvest dates of individual lots, and either specify or allow the model to generate feeding and fertilization schedules, and water balance/flow descriptions through pond facilities.
