So Ill cut right to the point, as improbable as it may be, it has always been my dream to have a bull shark in a freshwater pond. When I say pond I dont mean manmade koi type pond I mean big natural pond. On my farmland I have roughly 20 different ponds with the largest being about 3 acres and about 18 feet deep. The ponds currently have a decent amount of common pond fish (bass, catfish, bluegill, grass carp etc..), but my plan is to stock one pond with a lot of fish so that the bull will have plenty to eat. Obviously one of the largest concerns is temperature. As a Missouri resident it does get very cold. Im trying to find the most efficient way to heat a large area, as of now my only idea would be a bunch of pond heaters and maybe a temporary greenhouse over part of the pond. Originally I didnt think bulls could survive in water below 60 degrees, but after reading this article (http://www.nokomiseast.org/yard/light/creeksharks.html ) about bull sharks in a frozen river in Minnesota I started to have some hope. Ive been doing research but Im still not sure what the best way to handle the salt situation is. Im getting a lot of mixed information about bulls need for salt but the Carbook golf club (video below) gives me a little motivation. I have access to large quantities of pool salt and salt blocks used to attract deer at a fairly low price. Obviously transforming a large natural pond into salt water is not probable but could I maybe have a certain section that has at least some salt? Can hardy freshwater fish like catfish survive in low salinity levels? Im still in the planning process and I have a lot of unanswered questions, if anyone can offer tips, opinions, or advice it would be greatly appreciated.

I know it seems insane but if there is any possible way to make it happen, the MFK community will know how to do it
