Fish kills can be caused by many factors: low oxygen, disease, pollution, etc. This time of year it is not uncommon for large numbers of fish in ponds to die due to low levels of oxygen in the water. Your best bet is to contact your local IDNR fisheries biologist for advice. You can find the biologist in your area at the following website: http://www.ifishillinois.org/gofish/FAQ.html#mybiologist
