Intransitive, because it can't take a direct object.

In the pond, fish abound. Fish (subject) abound (verb).

The pond abounds with fish. Pond (subject) abounds (verb) with fish (prepositional phrase).

But never this:

The pond abounds fish. Pond (subject) abounds (verb) fish (direct object).

That last construction doesn't exist.
