Bug:Killing the func_fish_pool does not delete the fish, the fish entity can be killed as a workaround. [todo tested in ?]
Warning:Killing the fish entity before killing the func_fish_pool entity crashes the game, the func_fish_pool entity must be killed first.
Risk of Confusion:This is a point entity despite the name starting with func_ which is usually a brush entity
Bug:Fish spawned by this entity can cause lighting issues, where all dynamic props (including doors and viewmodels) appear to flicker dark.
This has been observed in Left 4 Dead 2 where a total of 120 fish had been spawned. Adding $donotcastshadows did not help. [todo tested in ?]

func_fish_pool is a point entity available in all 
Source games.

- World model (model) <model path>
- Model spawned fish use.
- Fish Count (fish_count) <integer>
