Cover it with black plastic. Duck weed needs sunlight to survive.

Try to establish some shade giving plants/shrubs/trees. That will alleviate

My pond is mostly in shade, but when the sun is high in the sky the
water gets sun on it. Maybe later this autumn the weed will die off
anyway?

Thanks, I will live in hope.
