fish ponds

Backyard aquatic features

Fish ponds are bodies of water, usually artificial, where fish are raised or kept.

They range from small backyard ponds stocked with ornamental koi to large commercial ponds for farming catfish or tilapia.

The monastery maintained fish ponds to provide food during Lent.

Unlike natural lakes, fish ponds are typically managed—fed, aerated, and periodically harvested.
