Halocline Induced by Rainfall in Saline Water Ponds in the Tropics and Its Impact on Physical Water Quality

In saline water ponds in the tropics, a halocline may occur due to rainfall, especially rainy season. The critical impacts of haloclines are heat insulation and obstruction vertical mixing. Considering quality ponds, appearance could have an impact on its variation, as pond be impacted by both Especially with purpose aquaculture production, lead dangerous risks, such physiological stress products, increases pathogenic micro-organisms, deterioration quality. present study, physical qualities was investigated analyzing continuous on-site observation data obtained Thailand. It found that, after halocline, stored lower high-salinity layer, effect halocline. Furthermore, also suggested transportation turbidity change DO (dissolved oxygen) distribution direction. These results expected provide information for assessment risk contribute new approach understanding problems ponds.
