I'm going with the aperture reflection story over the aquaculture theory for these reasons:

(a) the edges of these potential nets are not square but pretty well conform to the curves of the pond - I'd expect a set of right angles everywhere instead; (b) I believe that aquaculture requires a steady flow of water - I cannot see an upstream or downstream from these tanks/ponds; (c) no road/track to the ponds - seems like you would want to truck out your fish/prawns; (d) no obvious surrounding infrastructure - I've been to a few aquaculture sites and they typically had spawning tanks and all kinds of other supporting structures - I recognize however the danger of applying mostly US examples to a back-country Mexico operation

It appears to me that they are shallow ponds for raising fish or prawns. They may have a net covering to keep birds from eating all the critters or keeping the prawns from getting sunburned.
