Default How to get rid of azola floating plant

Large pond has thick carpet of small rough edged duck weed type floating
plant. I think it's called azola.
It has almost completely covered pond and fish are dying
Probably oxygenators not getting light .
The question is how do I eradicate?


I get the stuff also. I have a swimming pool skimmer and skim it off.
It tends to be more prevalent at certain times of the year, especially
the spring. Other times it recedes.
