Abstract

Information on the fate of the added nutrients is essential for the assessment of the food utilization, pond fertility, water quality and processes in the sediment (Boyd, 1985). Also, they are useful for qualifying environmental impacts of aquaculture and for environmental management. The purpose of this experiment was to assess the fate of nitrogen and organic matter entering aquaculture ponds and the relative importance of the different resources. (omitted)
