heyFish ponds are also being promoted in [[developing countries]]. They provide a [[Fish as food|source of food]] and income from the sale of fish for small farmers and can also supply irrigation needs and water for livestock.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Miller |first1=James W. |title=Farm ponds for water, fish and livelihoods |date=2009 |url=https://www.fao.org/publications/card/en/c/1462eba9-5695-52f8-9aaf-90a8ab8eeb45/ }}{{pn|date=August 2022}}</ref> The ecosystem and production services offered by carp farming in fish ponds have immense societal and economic advantages. For example, per production cycle, [[common carp]] aquaculture in the whole [[Central and Eastern Europe]] fishponds offer at least 579 million € worth of services, some of which are realized while a larger part is intangible. European carp aquaculture in fishponds is probably cleaner than most food production sectors in the [[European Union]], offering lesser nutrient burden to the environment than standard crop and livestock sectors.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Roy |first1=Koushik |last2=Vrba |first2=Jaroslav |last3=Kaushik |first3=Sadasivam J. |last4=Mraz |first4=Jan |title=Nutrient footprint and ecosystem services of carp production in European fishponds in contrast to EU crop and livestock sectors |journal=Journal of Cleaner Production |date=October 2020 |volume=270 |pages=122268 |doi=10.1016/j.jclepro.2020.122268 |doi-access=free }}</ref>
