Avian Botulism Epizootiology on Sewage Oxidation Ponds in Utah1
In the microenvironment concept of avian botulism epizootiology, it is hypothesized that invertebrate carcasses may serve both as a substrate for toxin production by Clostridium botulinum type C and as a vehicle for toxin transmission to water birds. We field-tested that hypothesis by attempting to induce botulism in wing-clipped mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) on sewage oxidation ponds in U...
متن کاملManaging Ammonia in Fish Ponds
Ammonia in water is either unionized ammonia (NH3) or the ammonium ion (NH4). The techniques used to measure ammonia provide a value that is the sum of both forms. The value is reported as “total ammonia” or simply “ammonia.” (In this publication, “ammonia” refers to the sum of both forms; the specific forms will be referred to as appropriate.) The relative proportion of the two forms present i...
متن کاملCotreatment of sewage and septage in waste stabilization ponds.
A one year study was carried out in a waste stabilization ponds system where septage and sewage are cotreated. The system consists of two septage ponds which operate alternately followed by two ponds in series which receive the combined effluent. The septage ponds also act as evaporation ponds for the accumulated sludge. The monitoring program was divided in two phases. The results of the first...
متن کاملefficiency of oxidation ponds in wastewater treatment
a research was conducted at kauma oxidation ponds, a sewage water treatment plant found in lilongwe, malawi with an aim of establishing the efficiency of these sewage treatment ponds in treating sewage wastewater. water samples from the effluent discharging points in the maturation ponds were collected and analysed in the labouratory for, bod, coliform bacteria, total nitrogen (tn), phosphorous...
متن کاملAmmonia volatilisation in waste stabilisation ponds: a cascade of misinterpretations?
Ammonia volatilisation has generally been reported as, or assumed to be, the main nitrogen removal mechanism in waste stabilisation ponds (WSP). Nitrogen removal via ammonia volatilisation is based on two observations: (a) in-pond pH values can reach high values (>9, even >10), so increasing the proportion of the total ammonia present as the un-ionized form or free ammonia (NH(3)); and (b) in-p...
