Water Quality Management

By : Dr Mustapha. A. Aquaculture Scientific Expert in Fish Nutrition. Morocco. To a large extent, water determines the success or failure of an aquaculture operation. Water quality is a dynamic network of physical, biological and chemical factors that influence fish production. The most important water quality parameter is temperature. It …

The adoption of greenhouse technology in the aquaculture of warm water fish species such as Nile tilapia in high altitude areas characterised by low temperatures is recommended in order to improve the performance of Nile tilapia. In aquaculture, water quality stands among the most important factors influencing the survival, growth, …

By:  Dr Mustapha ABA, Aquaculture Researcher, Fish Nutrition. Morocco. Every year, on 22 March, World Water Day is celebrated. Water is a natural resource essential for the survival of all living things on the planet. The human species uses it in many ways, among which we can highlight its use …

By: Dr Mustapha ABA, Aquaculture Researcher, Fish Nutrition. Morocco. The environmental impact caused by effluents generated by aquaculture production is variable and depends on the type of production system, the species used, the production density, and the type of feed. Therefore, the efficiency of feed use and input supply in …

By: Dr Mustapha ABA, Aquaculture Researcher Morocco. The global supply of fish for human consumption is becoming increasingly important through global aquaculture production, which has grown significantly and will expand significantly over the next decade to meet the growing demand for seafood. The sector is expected to contribute more effectively …

By Dr Mustapha ABA, Aquaculture Researcher, Fish Nutrition, Morocco. The science of fish nutrition allows us to establish a general diagram of the nutritional needs of aquaculture. In addition to these needs, it should be noted that the role of fish nutrition and food management has an impact on the …

By Dr Mustapha ABA, Aquaculture Researcher, Fish Nutrition, Morocco. In general, aquaculturists seek to maximize fish production in their ponds by increasing stocking density, feeding rates and aeration power, while striving to maintain adequate oxygen levels by providing aeration, control of other important water quality parameters, whose pH is invariably …
