Stratification of soil quality indicators with increasing pond age in brackish water carps polyculture

Present study was conducted to investigate effect of aquaculture activities on characteristics of pond bottom soil. Nine ponds located in Sargodha district, Pakistan were divided into three groups on the basis of pond age; Group 1 (10 years old), Group 2 (2-3 years old) and Group 3 (1 year old). Soi...

Description
Summary:Present study was conducted to investigate effect of aquaculture activities on characteristics of pond bottom soil. Nine ponds located in Sargodha district, Pakistan were divided into three groups on the basis of pond age; Group 1 (10 years old), Group 2 (2-3 years old) and Group 3 (1 year old). Soil quality parameters were significantly different at surface compared to deeper layers in ponds of Group 1 and 2 (P
