Aquaculture Water Quality and Its Impact on Fish Production: Physico-chemical, Microbial and Heavy Metals Parameters in Relation to Fish Performance Fatma El.demery

Aquaculture is one of the world?s fastest growing food production sectors, as fish farming can offers an alternative solution to the increasing market demand for fish and fish protein. The successful productivity of fish depends mainly on water quality which includes the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of water. It is of paramount importance that fish farmers prudent water quality management for optimizing the conditions of water for optimum fish productivity. Therefore, this book will participate to give complete overview on the evaluation of the hygienic quality of water used for different stages of fish production during the production period and investigation the relationship between physical, chemical and bacteriological quality of pond's water and fish performance (growth and survival rates).
