Pretty much depends on the situation. In a stock pond, a buildup of turtles will cut down on the fishing. I'd regularly sit in my truck about fifty yards up the hillside from my pond and shoot turtles with my .223. No ricochets.
Made for happy raccoons...
Along creeks and rivers it's a different deal. SFAIK, turtles and fish all balance out, just as they always have. Dunno about man-made lakes.
