Water quality is one of the most critical factors in determining the success of fish/shrimp farming. Fish depend on water heavily and it is the only place where they perform all their bodily functions. Fish need water to grow and they do not thrive in any other place. All types of fish breathe, feed and [...]
Nobody can challenge the fact that pond aeration is really critical to the potent health and vivacity of fish. When your pond does not have adequate oxygen, fish get stressed and the growth rate comes down significantly. Inadequate oxygen at the pond bottom results in fish waste buildup and it also leads to the excess [...]
It is a well known fact that best aeration systems promote excellent fish health and high yield. When you set up or install an aeration system, you must be really vigilant to follow the right method of approach. Incorrectly installed systems do not offer you the expected results.

In ponds, ammonia is produced by excretion of fishes, crustaceans, microbial decomposition of organic materials, urea and ammonium fertilizers, supplementary feed etc. Unionized ammonia fraction is more toxic to fish. A concentration of 0.02-0.05 mg l-1 of unionized ammonia is safe for fishes. The concentration of unionized ammonia increases with increasing pH and temperature and [...]
Excess ammonia accumulationis highly toxic to shrimp farming systems. When the ammonia levels get higher, shrimps find it really difficult to extract energy from feed. Consequently, they become lethargic and this situation leads to coma stage and death as well. The basic source of ammonia in shrimp farming is the fish feed. When the shrimps [...]
What can a shrimp farmer do to reduce shrimp mortality rate?
