Water Quality Evaluation Index System for Freshwater Aquaculture Pond

[Objective] The aim was to establish the water quality evaluation index system for freshwater aquaculture pond.[Method] The expert survey,DELPHI,field research and other methods were used.Based on the analysis of factors influencing water quality of freshwater aquaculture pond,and the importance degree of 14 factors influencing water quality of freshwater aquaculture pond was ordered.Then,five factors were selected as index to establish the water quality evaluation index system of freshwater aquaculture with the determination for thresholds of these factors.[Result] The importance degree of water quality of freshwater aquaculture pond showed an order of Dissolved oxygenpHPhytoplankton biomassSecchi depthTotal NitrogenZooplankton biomassWater temperatureBiochemical Oxygen DemandWater colorSalinityTotal hardness;according to the value of importance degree,the dissolved oxygen,pH,secchi depth,phytoplankton biomass and total nitrogen these five factors were selected as the index system of water quality evaluation of pond.The level of water quality of freshwater aquaculture pond was divided into five,and the tolerance range of fish to each index was obtained by expert observation.[Conclusion] This study had provided a scientific basis for water quality evaluation system of freshwater aquaculture pond.

Bio-ecological remediation of freshwater aquaculture environments:A systematic review and bibliometric analysis

Freshwater aquaculture plays an important role in the global aquaculture industry.The success of freshwater aquaculture relies on the integration of bio-ecological remediation technologies to ensure its sustainable development.This paper systematically reviews the global literatures on bio-ecological remediation of freshwater aquaculture environments from 1990 to 2021,and discusses in detail the research progress and status quo in this field using both bibliometric analysis and content analysis.Our results indicate that the number of publications per year has increased year by year,with a particularly rapid increase after 2015.Institutions and researchers from China and the USA publish the greatest number of papers and contribute the most to this field.By analyzing the research progress in this field,we also find that the protection and restoration of freshwater aquaculture environments has received attention since as early as 1990,such as the application of constructed wetlands and recirculating aquaculture systems.Recently,researchers have increasingly focused on the use of microbial communities in remediation.Furthermore,vanRijn,J's papers are of great value to the research in this field.In content analysis,the application of primary technologies,including plant selection,aquatic animals,microorganisms,and biological filtration and purification equipment,as well as ecological engineering technologies with combinations of various types of organisms,is described to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of remediation.The performance,advantages,disadvantages,or limitations and prospects of these technology applications are analyzed in detail.By comparison,ecological engineering is shown to be the best remediation technology,being most comprehensive,and well-established.Taken together,this paper composes and summarizes existing work in this field,and provides guidance for future research on the improvement of existing technologies and the development of new technologies,with the aim of enhancing remediation capability,improving ecological sustainability and ensuring economic viability.

Chinese Freshwater aquaculture:A comparative analysis of the competitiveness on regional aquaculture industries

The aquaculture industry in China is not complete without the freshwater industry.The scientific assessment of the regional competitiveness of the freshwater aquaculture industry has significant theoretical and practical implications for fostering the industry’s sustainable development.Based on the diamond model,this study developed a competitiveness evaluation index system for Chinese freshwater aquaculture industry which included six primary indicators and sixteen secondary indicators.The primary indicators included resource endowment,production capacity,science and technology promotion capacity,related and supporting industries,market demand and guiding development policy.The study analyzed freshwater aquaculture industrial competitiveness during 2012-2020 and classified the Chinese 18 major freshwater aquaculture provinces into five competitive levels.The results showed that the development of related and supporting industries has the greatest contribution to the competitiveness,followed by resource endowment and market demand capacity.The analysis and tier classification showed that the competitiveness of Jiangsu Province and Hubei Province has always been at the forefront,and the province of Guangdong,Fujian,Hunan,Jiangxi,Zhejiang,Anhui,Liaoning,and Guangxi were above the middle level.Moreover,the results indicated that the competitiveness of most provinces showed an upward trend.
