Temperature plays an important role in tilapia farming

Water quality parameters such as pH, water hardness, temperature, dissolved oxygen and brightness are things that need to be considered in tilapia aquaculture. In order for the purpose of tilapia aquaculture to be achieved, the water quality parameters mentioned above need to be maintained and maintained to remain in optimal numbers.    In tilapia farming activities in ponds monitoring pond water temperature is an important activity that needs to be considered. Fish pond water temperature is very important to maintain the health of fish and the surrounding environment. Water temperature plays a role in helping fish metabolism. Tilapia growth will be faster if the pond water temperature ranges from 25°C to 30°C. If the pond water  temperature is too cold, which is below 25 ° C, the growth of tilapia will be inhibited because if the pond water temperature is too cold it will reduce the metabolic rate of the fish and will inhibit the fish's appetite so that its growth will b...

The pH of fish pond water is an important parameter in tilapia aquaculture

In tilapia fish farming in ponds, pH is an important parameter in measuring the level of water quality in fish farming ponds. Fish pond water quality monitoring is an activity used to monitor or manage water quality in fish ponds.  The purpose of monitoring pond water quality is to ensure that the water quality in the fish pond remains optimal and in accordance with the planned standards. This activity involves data collection, data analysis, and necessary actions to improve water quality if needed.  The pH of water is the degree of acidity used to express the level of acidity or basicity possessed by an aqueous solution.  The pH scale consists of numbers 1 to 14, where a pH value of 7 indicates a balance between acids and bases, while a pH value below 7 indicates acidic properties and a pH value above 7 indicates alkaline properties. In monitoring the water quality of fish ponds, pH is one of the parameters measured to ensure that the water quality in fish ponds remains ...
