    Study Notes

    Water Quality Assessment

    • The assessment evaluated the water quality parameters of a freshwater tank at the College of Fisheries, where Nile Tilapia are being cultured.
    • The parameters measured included pH, high-range pH, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity.

    pH Levels

    • The ideal pH level for Tilapia is between 6.5 and 9.
    • The pH levels measured in the tank were between 7.0 and 7.6, which is considered acceptable.

    High-Range pH

    • The high-range pH levels measured in the tank were between 7.4 and 8.2, which is considered acceptable.

    Ammonia Levels

    • Ammonia levels above 0.02 mg/L are toxic to fish.
    • The measured ammonia levels in the tank were 0.25 ppm, which is considered acceptable.
    • Ammonia is produced by the fish's waste products, uneaten food, and decaying organic matter.

    Nitrite Levels

    • Nitrite levels above 2.0 mg/L are toxic to fish.
    • The measured nitrite levels in the tank were 0 ppm, which is considered acceptable.
    • Nitrite is produced by beneficial filtration bacteria as they break down the harmful waste ammonia excreted by the fish.

    Nitrate Levels

    • Nitrate levels above 40 ppm can have negative impacts on fish growth and feed conversion.
    • The measured nitrate levels in the tank were 0 ppm, which is considered acceptable.
    • A nitrate level of 40 ppm or less is recommended for freshwater.

    Temperature

    • The ideal water temperature for Tilapia growth is between 26-30°C (BFAR 2013).
    • The measured temperature in the tank ranged from 28.8°C to 33.3°C, which is considered acceptable.

    Dissolved Oxygen

    • Dissolved oxygen levels below 6 mg/L can have detrimental effects on pond life.
    • The measured dissolved oxygen levels in the tank ranged from 4.22 mg/L to 4.47 mg/L, which is considered not acceptable.

    Turbidity

    • Turbidity measures the clarity of water.
    • The measured turbidity levels in the tank ranged from 27 NTU to 120 NTU, which indicates stressed aquatic life.
    • Turbidity levels above 10 NTU can cause stress to fish and other aquatic life.

    Water Quality Conclusion

    • The water quality assessment indicates that the tank's water quality is generally acceptable, but requires improvement in some parameters, such as dissolved oxygen and turbidity.
    • Regular water changes, proper feeding, and maintaining good water chemistry can help improve and maintain water quality.
