Introduction In this era, the world is facing increasing demands for food supply, and has a need for higher quality food resources, in which aquatic products form an important component. After significant population growth in the last decades, the world's capture fisheries are becoming increasingly limited. This situation creates a need for increasing aquaculture production to fill the growing gap between supply and...
BASIC PARAMETERS ON HANDLING OF AQUACULTURAL PONDS WATER REPLACEMENT Amount of oxigen dissolved Evaporation and filtering Water temperature Coloring Salinity Turbidity pH TEMPERATURE Water temperature shall be between 25 and 32°C, being the optimal between 29 and31°C...
Introduction An Giang province has an agriculture- based economy. Pig production is considered one of the most important livestock activities in the province, mainly by smallholders. Recently, pig production has rapidly increased to supply the demand for meat. The increased concentration of intensive livestock is associated with the pollution and the pig waste becoming a serious environmental hazard. Livestock waste...
Understanding the microbial ecological process in ponds and in the shrimp intestinal tract is vital to maintain and optimize productivity without prophylactic use of hazardous substances. The maintenance of good water quality and the control of disease are closely linked to managing the communities of microbes and phytoplankton. ...
Description of Freshwater Prawn Farming Freshwater prawns, Machrobrachium rosenbergii , or shrimp are currently popular with small scale aquaculturists in the southeasternUnited States. Pond acreage has been constructed in nearly all states, but particularly inKentucky,Mississippi,Texas,Tennessee,Georgia, andAlabama. Research atKentuckyStateUniversity has reported larger yields (Tidwell et al. 1999)...

ABSTRACT
The present study was carried out in a 24 earthen pond system (one feddan each, three replicates for each treatment) to investigate the effect of feed, feed plus fertilization (organic± inorganic fertilizer), improved (fertilized with organic± inorganic± supplementary feeding with rice bran) and poor nutrient inputs (fertilized with poultry manure, PM) on the...
Freshwater fish farmers in Vadodara (India) are increasingly using urea and other chemical fertilisers to boost production. With better subsidies for procuring seeds, the farmers use fertilisers during the nursing period to better the yield.
The farmers are facing stiff competition from their counterparts in Andhra Pradesh. They said fish and prawns from the state are unfit for consumption.
"In Andhra, they nurse the fish and prawn seeds with pig stock and beef, which we...
From this study, and for the superiority of th 3 rd treatment, it could be concluded that the fish – cum – duck integration system of production is important in producing meat duck and Nile tilapia fish under semi-intensive production system in earthen ponds. But it may gave attention to moderate stocking rate of ducks (125 - 250 duck / feddan) on fish ponds to safe water quality, particularly at low stocking rate of fish, as in the present study (16.8 thousand fry of 4 – 5 g / feddan)....
Louisiana Fish Pond Springtime Problems Springtime disease losses in fish ponds are common throughout the Southeast, especially in Louisiana. Low temperatures during winter force fish into a state of slow motion in which they eat little and their immune systems respond slowly. When temperatures begin to rise in the spring, disease-causing organisms already naturally present in a pond can get the upper hand on fish that are in a weakened state. Stress caused by abrupt temperature...
