Fish pond liners or generally pond liners are flexible impermeable plastics used for holding or retaining water for fish farming. Fish pond liners provide a permanent seal and lining of reservoirs and water pans in porous soils. They also hold water in wooden structures for farmers practicing fish farming. Common fish raised on fish pond liners include cat fish, mad fish and tilapia. The fish are raised for domestic consumption or for sale.
