How big of a pond would 1000 fish need.

Interesting Question.

Lets think of this as an intensive aquaculture system, at 1 inch of fish per gallon. A bluegill is about 8 inches at harvest. That would be approximately a 8000 gallon pond. That would be this size .

It really depends on what you consider a bluegill (big bluegill mostly feed on countless small ones if you don't feed the pond), how much dissolved oxygen is in the water, and how efficently you handle nitrogen.

About 0.25 acres with supplemental feeding will enable rearing them to eating size. Problem is they will reproduce rendering your 1,000 a mute point.
