Ponds typically contain an abundance of phytoplankton. These organisms play an important role in pond ecology and influence water quality
Wednesday. April 26th, 2017Photosynthesis by microalgae (phytoplankton) is the main source of oxygen in aquaculture ponds. Microalgae often supply excess oxygen during the day
Monday. February 13th, 2017Aside from temperature and dissolved oxygen, pH is likely the most commonly measured water quality variable in aquaculture.
Tuesday. February 7th, 2017Productivity increases in aquaculture ponds in re-sponse to nutrient inputs of fertilizer and feed. These in-puts, however, increase the demand for oxygen
Wednesday. May 3rd, 2017This study of samples of agricultural limestone obtained from five different quarries in the USA determined that the samples had comparable chemical composition
Friday. November 17th, 2017Aquaculture is becoming increasingly intensive through application of feeds and often with supplemental mechanical aeration.
Friday. May 4th, 2018Aquaculture ponds should have waters with pH above 6.5 and sufficient alkalinity either naturally or because of liming.
Monday. September 24th, 2018The stratification of a pond limits the supply and availability of oxygen to the upper strata of the water column. At night, this limited oxygen reserve
Monday. February 13th, 2017The major sources of organic matter in aquaculture ponds are organic fertilizer, remains of microorganisms — phytoplankton, zooplankton, and benthos — produced
Wednesday. April 26th, 2017Inadequate management depletes dissolved oxygen, results in extreme pH values and occurrence of undesirable phytoplankton species
