What is the impact of PH on aquaculture?
In the process of fish farming, there are many factors that affect the health of fish, among which the PH value of the aquaculture water is a very important factor, so specifically what are the main aspects of its impact on fish? The so-called PH value refers to the concentration index of hydroxide ions in the water body. In the process of fish farming, the main factors that affect the PH value in the water are weather, water source, light, medication, algae and organic matter in the water, etc. 1. When the PH value is lower than 6.5, the culture water body is acidic. Acidic water will cause the fish's blood PH value to drop and the concentration of H+ ions in the blood to increase, causing acidosis in fish. It also causes the function of many enzymes in the fish as well as the function of haemoglobin and haemocyanin in transporting oxygen to become impaired, which leads to serious oxygen deprivation in fish. Acidic water is usually characteri z ed by normal levels of dissolved ox...
