|
| Suggestions Given: |

| Good Practices: |
Nitrification is a natural water purification process by which certain bacteria oxidize and transform potentially toxic ammonia to nontoxic nitrate. |
| Bad Practices: |
Fertilizers are applied to ponds in relatively small amounts and normally do not raise ammonia concentrations to toxic levels. Dead plankton also release Ammonia |
| Suggestions Given: |
|
| This process is especially important in aquaculture ponds and water reuse systems, where ammonia can reach concentrations harmful to fish and shrimp. |

| Good Practices: |
Optimal alkalinity in shrimp ponds ranges from 130-180 ppm. |
| Bad Practices: |
Sodium bicarbonate and hydrated lime would be more appropriate alkalinity control strategies for in situ1 ozonated shrimp grow-out ponds; however, for application of hydrated lime, the problem of overdosage should be taken into consideration. |
| Suggestions Given: |
|
| Alkalinity below the optimum range in shrimp ponds can cause pH fluctuations. This can cause stress to the shrimp and increase the risk of disease outbreaks. |

Dissolved oxygen (DO) is the amount of oxygen that is present in water. Water bodies receive oxygen from the atmosphere and from aquatic plants. Running water, such as that of a swift moving stream, dissolves more oxygen than the still water of a pon |
| Bad Practices: |
NA |
| Suggestions Given: |
|
| DO levels less than 5mg/L are considered stressful for fish and levels less than 3mg/L are too low to support fish. DO levels below 1mg/L are considered hypoxic and usually devoid of life |

| Good Practices: |
Ammonia is the major end prod- uct in the breakdown of proteins in fish. Fish digest the protein in their feed and excrete ammonia through their gills and in their feces |
| Bad Practices: |
The amount of ammonia excreted by fish varies with the amount of feed put into the pond or culture system, increasing as feeding rates increase. |
| Suggestions Given: |
|
| Ammonia
also enters the pond from bacteri-
al decomposition of organic mat-
ter such as uneaten feed or dead
algae and aquatic plants |

| Good Practices: |
Maintaining the stability of vannamei shrimp salinity during cultivation is very important. This is because the saltiness of the water directly affects the health and growth of shrimp.For vannamei shrimp, the ideal water salinity is around 0-15 ppt |
| Bad Practices: |
To ensure that the salinity of the water is at the proper level, farmers need to test and monitor the water regularly using a salinity meter or hydrometer. |
| Suggestions Given: |
|
| Usually, the best time to measure salinity is in the morning and evening. Because, at these times, the salinity can change due to the influence of water evaporation by sunlight. In addition, when it rains, there is usually a decrease in the salinity |

Compared with other species, P. vannamei requires a lower protein (and hence cheaper) diet (20-35 percent) during culture than P. monodon, |
| Bad Practices: |
This ability to produce high-quality, fecund domesticated stocks can also be seen as an advance in the sustainability and environmental friendliness of shrimp farming since it precludes the necessity of catching large numbers of wild post-larvae |
| Suggestions Given: |
|
| current grow-out feeds for P. vannamei contain 35 percent protein and cost 10-15 percent less than the 40-42 percent protein feeds for P. monodon. |

Fertilizers and aquafeeds are sources of ammonia in aquaculture systems |
| Bad Practices: |
Fertilizers are applied to ponds in relatively small amounts and normally do not raise ammonia concentrations to toxic levels |
| Suggestions Given: |
|
| Ammonium from fertilizers is absorbed by phytoplankton and converted to organic nitrogen in protein. When phytoplankton die, they decompose and release ammonia. |
