The only one of the top of my head is Ika Musume...but there aren't a lot of like...carp...more like squid and shrimp....and the occasional jellyfish and whale.
Oh! There was an episode of Angel Beats where they went fishing....
Other than that, I don't think there is one.....I'll find one for you though. <3

How do you even know your fish are disappearing?

I've also been eating them.

He said that hes a permanent resident in the US now, in within the past month, his fish keep disappearing at an alarming rate. How can he know that?

From my vast amounts of anecdotal experience living in Chengdu and being an avid fisherman, I'd assume the death of the fish is probably the resultant of environmental factors. The worsening of the pollution in Chengdu most likely exacerbated the aging of the fish as they approached the end of their natural life-cycles. The lack of minnows in said pool is probably the best indicator of this bio-crysis many years in the making.

Large predator birds eating them was my initial thought, I would imagine that your fishes make for a pretty easy prey for them compared to fishes and animals in their natural environment.
According to ehow theres plenty of birds that hunt pond fishes, not particularly indepth article and mostly just common sense but linking it anyway.
If there is a dramatic loss of fish in the pond or the fish exhibit wounds such as puncture marks, a bird is likely stalking and consuming the fish.

I say you just bring it up with your housekeeper, i'm sure if it's her she'll stop now that she knows you're aware of the thievery, or she can keep an eye out of it isn't her.

Miyazaki has slowly been losing his mind, and his movies have been making less and less sense as the years go by.

Gon from Hunter X Hunter is a fisher and uses his fishing rod as a weapon.
