An Introduction to Water Chemistry in Freshwater Aquaculture

Joseph K. Buttner, Richard W. Soderberg and Daniel E. Terlizzi


Opening Paragraph:
The major water quality factors that are important in freshwater aquaculture systems and methods to monitor them are described in this publication. Water quality determines not only how well fish will grow in an aquaculture operation, but whether or not they survive. Fish influence water quality through processes like nitrogen metabolism and respiration. Knowledge of testing procedures and interpretation of results are important to the fish farmer.

Aquaculture bio-filters and aquarium biofilters are biological filters. Fish farms and garden ponds use filters. Freshwater filters and saltwater filters use the same biological filters as biofiltration systems. Biofilters use bacteria to filter water. QuikSand filters are biological filters. Marine, reef, fresh, salt, tropical fish, bait, bass, catfish, coral, crawfish, koi, lobster, prawn, shrimp, trout and salmon all need water bio filters for biological filtration.
