Study of Water Quality and Shrimp in Shrimp Ponds Conducted a study of water quality in shrimp ponds by measuring water quality parameters according to GLOBE protocols: pH, dissolved oxygen, ammonia, alkalinity, and nitrite. Conducted a study of the growth of whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) by measuring the weight, length, and size of the shrimp after farming in different ponds
A study on the quality of water in earthen ponds and plastic ponds that affect the growth rate of white shrimp. at House No. 52 Moo 2 Khlong Cheelom The purpose of this project is to study the quality of water in earthen ponds and plastic ponds that affect the growth rate of white shrimp. by collecting water quality data in the study area. The size of each pond is 1 rai of 2 ponds, divided into 2 types, 1 shrimp raised in an earthen pond and 1 pond in the adjacent area which will be a shrimp pond with plastic paving by controlling the environment. The results of the measurement showed that the quality of the water in the pond used to raise white shrimp in an earthen pond and a plastic pond for a period of 3 months. The average salinity of the water is 10.42-10.83 ppt, the average pH is 7.74-7.67 ppm, the average ammonia is 0.15 ppm, the nitrile is 0.58-0.67 ppm, and the average oxygen solubility in the water is 5 mg/L, which are similar values in both ponds, but the clay pond has an average alkaline value of 120.42-125.83 ppm, an average calcium of 140-146.67 mg/L, and an average magnesium of 279.17-310.42 ppm. The average shrimp size is 45 pcs/Kg, which shrimp grow better than in plastic ponds .
