Every habitat has a carrying capacity for a given organism based on available space and resources such as food. This goes for fish in a lake. If the population of fish exceeds the carrying capacity, some of the fish will die off and reduce the population. Depending on the environment and the species, disease and predators also help keep populations under control.

'Why aren't oceans and lakes overcrowded with fish if female fish lay thousands of eggs?
The oceans are HUGE. There is tons of room in each ocean. But they are not crowded because there are many predators that like to eat the fish eggs, and many of the eggs never end up hatching. So that's why the seas aren't over-crowded.
