13. 1. before using any equipment, fish farmers must knowledgeable
on how to used the equipment for safety purposes.
2. In the acquisition of tools, equipment and materials, it is
important to consider the reputation and the location of the
supplier that will provide these to the fish farmers.
3. The included manuals in the purchased equipment should be
read, analyzed, and reviewed carefully for proper usage and
performance.

15. QUALITY AND SOURCE OF WATER
WATER – is an indispensable
elements in agriculture. It
greatly influences the success
or failure of an aquatic
operation.

16. QUALITY AND SOURCE OF WATER
WATER QUALITY – It is
essential in propagating
desired aquatic species. It
involves monitoring the
temperature, dissolved
oxygen level, pH level,
alkalinity, hardness and
among others

17. CONCEPTS OF WATER QUALITY
TEMPERATURE – Fish ,
shrimp and other aquatic
organisms are considered as
cold- blooded animals. They
have the ability to modify
their body temperature to
the environment in normal
condition.

18. CONCEPTS OF WATER QUALITY
SALINITY – Optimum range
of salinity should be
maintained in aquaculture
pond for better survival and
growth. Salinity indicates
saltiness in the body of
water.

19. CONCEPTS OF WATER QUALITY
DISSOLVED OXYGEN (DO)– all
aquatic organisms need
oxygen dissolved in water in
order to survive. DO comes
from atmospheric oxygen
and photosynthesis.

20. CONCEPTS OF WATER QUALITY
pH level - measures the
acidity or alkalinity present
in the pond water. It affect
the metabolism and other
physiological process of
cultured organisms.

21. SOURCE OF WATER
IRRIGATION CANAL – Is a
source of water in the field.
This can be a good source of
water when establishing a
pond in a farm.

22. SOURCE OF WATER
RIVER – A natural fresh
water that flows toward
other bodies of water like
ocean, sea, and lake.

23. SOURCE OF WATER
CREEK – A source of water in
fish culture that may only be
applicable during rainy
seasons or in a short period
of time.

24. SOURCE OF WATER
RESERVOIR – A storage space
of water, it can be establish
by regulating a stream that
drains in existing body of
water.

25. SOURCE OF WATER
LAKE – Is established
through rainfall or water run
off from streams or
groundwater that seeps
through the soil and loses its
water through evaporation.

26. SOURCE OF WATER
RAINFALL RUNOFF – Comes
from rainstorm. The
occurrence and quality
depend on the extent of
rainfall events.

27. SOURCE OF WATER
DEEP WELL OR WATER
WELL – Is an excavated
source of water that has an
access to the groundwater.
Normally, it is 10,000 feet or
more below the ground.
