Assessment of Pond Productivity in African Catfish Farms
Author(s): Lameck Deomedes*
The study was conducted in Coast region specifically in Kibaha, Kisarawe and Bagamoyo Districts. study aimed to determine water quality dynamics, pond characteristics and productivity; and nutritive values of feeds used in catfish farm. Water quality parameters was measured by water proof portable logging multi-parameter meter HANNA MODEL (H198194), feed samples were collected from catfish farmers and proximate analysis was conducted according to standard procedures given in Association of official Analytical Chemists (AOAC,1980), pond characteristics and productivity data were collected through self-administered questionnaires. Results indicated that Bagamoyo had highest temperature (29.94°C±1.70), pH (7.58±0.86) and DO (6.16ppm±0.76). Kisarawe showed highest TDS (1536.12ppm±2236.183) and Salinity (0.74±0.03), Kibaha indicated highest conductivi.. View more»
