Abstract

The interrelationships between water quality and feeding in intensive aquaculture are complex. Water temperatures and dissolved oxygen levels influence feeding activity, metabolism, and growth and hence are of fundamental importance in the determination of both the types and quantities of feeds used. Feeding fish in intensive culture systems in turn leads to the release of potentially harmful organic and inorganic materials into the water. Ammonia, primarily excreted across the gills of fish and shrimp, may exert direct toxic effects on these animals, while phosphorus, nitrogen, and organic solids may affect fish or shrimp indirectly through long-term degradation of their environment. Some harmful compounds are released as excretory products, resulting from normal metabolic activities, while others may be released as a consequence of poor feeding practices or poor food quality.
