fishponds
Stocked water features
Fishponds are artificial pools or small bodies of water stocked with fish, typically for breeding, raising, or harvesting them.
Historically, monasteries and estates maintained fishponds as a reliable food source.
The term also describes ornamental garden ponds where decorative fish like koi are kept: The fishponds needed cleaning before winter.
