I know virtually nothing about fishing and the lives of fish but, if Redwallers wished to have fish as a part of their diet and at close hand, then surely they (Redwallers) just simply wouldn't have overfished the pond - and ensured that both males and females survived within it; as far as I know, a pond doesn't need a running water supply for it to maintain fish so long as there are the correct conditions to breed, it doesn't dry out - thereby ensuring an oxygen supply - and so long as there remain both males and females.
