[Method] The fuzzy compre- hensive evaluation method based on entropy weight was used to evaluate the water quality in the ponds with Ukraine scale carp (Cyprinus carpio) as the main cultivated fish. The average size of the fish was 71.4 g/ind, and totally three groups of pond were set with the population density of 6 000, 9 000, 12 000 ind/hm2. [Result] According to the GB3838-2002 Environmental Quality Standards for Surface Water of China, the water quality of 6 000 ind/hm2 group was Grade I, and the water quality of 9 000 and 12 000 ind/hm2 were Grade V. [Conclusion] With the increasing of feeding density, the pond water quality would worsen, however, there is no difference on water quality between 9 000 and 12 000 ind/hm2 groups.展开更多

To determine the impacts of activities on the water quality, ten stations were selected for water quality study over 9 months. Results show that salinity increases from 14.0 PSU upstream to 30.4 PSU downstream. Lowest DO range was 2.3-4.1 mg/L. TSS ranged was 20-135 mg/L and the highest was observed near construction and residential areas, the second and third highest near shrimp culture discharge areas. BOD5 was the highest near construction and residential areas. BOD5 of a station near shrimp culture was not significantly different from the residential areas. Two stations near shrimp culture site also recorded the highest Chl-a. The highest ammonia-nitrogen, nitrite-nitrogen and reactive phosphorus were observed at stations near shrimp farm sites whereas nitrate-nitrogen was the highest near construction and residential areas. Cage culture site showed the highest phosphorus and second highest nitrite-nitrogen and ammonia-nitrogen. This study showed that TSS and BOD5 were elevated near residential and construction areas and nutrients were elevated near shrimp farm sites resulting in algal bloom. Therefore, it is recommended that residential and shrimp farm discharge be treated to acceptable quality before discharge to protect the aquatic resources.展开更多

However, there have been reports of negative impacts of shrimp farming which include environmental pollution. Therefore, shrimp pond effluent had to be retained for treatment. Treatment in tanks showed good improvement in water quality but in sedimentation ponds it may not be the case. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the water quality of effluent retained in sedimentation pond for a duration of 76 hours. Results show that water quality at 1/3 depth was better than 2/3 depth. There was an improvement in water quality with reductions of TSS, BOD5, COD, nitrate-N, nitrite-N, SRP and TP ranging from 25-52% except for DO and TAN. In addition, there was fluctuation of each parameter during the duration of study. It is important to monitor the water quality prior to the release of effluent so that it coincides with low nutrients and acceptable DO and partial release of the top 1/3 portion is recommended. There is a limit on the reduction achievable by sedimentation ponds likely due to processes occurring in the sediment. For higher reductions, other methods of effluent management and recovery of nutrients have to be considered.展开更多
