Descrição
There are about a dozen dead fish in this area. I am no expert, but there may be a problem with the water... Also, the asian community is well known for eating the fish from this pond, so this is technically a public health matter as well.

This may be a long shot and I'm no botanist but could this be related to the sockeye salmon issue in the Columbia River....it has been pretty warm and the algae can ferment causing toxic chemicals that are harmful to fish. Just a thought.
PORTLAND, Ore. (Reuters) - Unseasonably hot water has killed nearly half of the sockeye salmon migrating up the Columbia River through Oregon and Washington state, a wildlife official said on Monday.
Only 272,000 out of the more than 507,000 sockeye salmon that have swum between two dams along a stretch of the lower Columbia River have survived the journey, said Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife fisheries manager John North.
"We've never had mortalities at this scale," said North.

Just FYI. More dead fish are appearing all around the pound now, as seen in new posts.
An intervention of some sort needs to happen quickly or more wildlife in the pond will die. More dead wildlife will make the problem worse as the dead and decaying flesh will only worsen the problem of an uneven ecosystem currently in the water.
Even if its turning the pond's fountains back on, as this will at least oxygenate the water for the fish (fountains have been off for quite awhile.

A temporary Floating Aeration Pump is needed.
The water is too low for the fountain pumps to be used.
