 ABSTRACT

Production of fish in any aquaculture system depends upon several factors. It has been found that parameters like temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, hardness, nitrate nitrogen, phosphate phosphorus, chemical and biochemical oxygen demand (COD and BOD) have a critical role in fish production. An optimum value should always be maintained for these parameters for good production. Unfortunately, it is not retained due to several reasons including human activities. The parameters also differ according to seasons and other conditions. Poor physicochemical characteristics can result in poor production and economic loss. It is essential to know the standard level of these parameters and assess the value before using any water body for fish production.

Keywords: Aquaculture, Fish, Physicochemical parameters, Sewage.
