fishpond

Backyard aquatic feature

A fishpond is a small body of water, either natural or artificial, where fish are kept or bred.

These ponds may be ornamental features in gardens, stocked with decorative species like koi or goldfish, or they may serve practical purposes for aquaculture and fish farming.

The estate's fishpond dated back to medieval times when monks raised carp there.
