Aquaculture: Water Quality Management
Abstract
In aquaculture, water quality is one of the prime factors that determines the success of that particular culture. Primarily the water quality parameters are divided into three major categories, physical, chemical and biological. But a slight change in some of the parameters especially pH, temperature, DO will lead to stress in the organism and it may be of physiological or behavioral. Deteriorated or changed water quality will affect growth, reproductive capacity. Susceptibility to diseases is also more in such environment. Water quality management measures aim at improving water quality. Aquaculture entrepreneurs should know the basics of water quality management measures in aquaculture to reduce the problems related with water quality so as to utilize the of water body with viable profit as well as environmental sustainability.
