Water monitoring in fish ponds

Abstract

My experiences over time in observing the flow of water in fish ponds and ensuring it quality is the reason for this discussion. The paper discusses how water flow into fish ponds should be monitored daily and it quality ensured through the manipulation of parameters like: dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, temperature, ammonia, etc. It further discusses the indices of good quality water and the effects of poor water quality in ponds and how it should be improved upon. It concludes that ensuring sustainable good water quality is a precondition for increased productivity and vice-versa and should therefore be given first hand priority.
