Aquaculture Pond Modeling for the Analysis of IntegratedAquaculture/Agriculture Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Increased adoption of new activities such as aquaculture into existing agroecosystems calls for the application of simulation models to analyze and forecast consequences of new agroecosystem designs (Elliot and Cole, 1989; Edwards et al., 1988). The main objective of integrated systems is to enhance nutrient cycling and energy flow in the system to obtain maximum benefits in the production of food and fiber (Chan, 1993). Integration of aquaculture and agriculture through the use of pond sediment organic matter as a crop fertilizer, and of pond water for irrigation, establishes linkages between aquaculture ponds and crops.

An organic matter and nitrogen dynamics model for the ecological analysis of integrated aquaculture/agriculture systems: II. Model evaluation and application
The performance of a model developed to simulate organic matter and nitrogen dynamics in integrated aquaculture/agriculture systems was evaluated using sensitivity analysis and model verification procedures with data from three sites. The model sensitivity analysis results were used to identify parameters that required high accuracy in measurement, and to suggest areas of future research in int...

In this paper a parametric study was undertaken to quantify the sensitivity Abstract to a wide range of coastal detention pond systems dealing with tidal influence to store surface flood water so as to produce general guidance on the importance of the catchment and pond variables. In this process a specified pond design return period was selected for which the system was to be designed. The pon...

digestibility if the models are to accurately simulate organic matter transformations in fish ponds. This is especially true for pond management systems that utilize non-conventional feed and fertilizer sources. Munsiri and Boyd (1995) showed that, with the use of a single first-order rate constant to model organic matter degradation, equilibrium conditions were reached in a relatively short ti...
متن کاملEffects of stocking density, feeding technique and vitamin C supplementation on the habituation on dry feed of pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) pond reared juveniles
Influence of three different stocking densities, vitamin C supplementation of Daphnia spp. and feeding practice (i.e. mechanical, hand) on the success of dry feed habituation of pond reared pikeperch juveniles was investigated through one month trial. Pond reared pikeperch juveniles were harvested 42 days post-fertilisation (mean individual weight 1.1 ± 0.3g) and stocked into the experim...

PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) were used to explore the relationship between eukaryotic plankton community succession and environmental factors in two aquaculture pond models with gibel carp Carassius auratus gibelio. The main culture species of pond 1 were gibel carp and grass carp, and the combined density was 46224 fingerling/ha...
