I have been visiting our shallow (about 10 inches at best) pond lately and it has about 2-3 inches of ice on it and it is nice and clear. Earlier it had many tadpoles. I thought that tadpoles were surface breathers but I am seeing lots of live tadpoles under the ice. i am also seeing dead predacious diving beetle larvae and dead minnows and some, apparently, dead tadpoles. How do they breath under the ice?
