Abstract
A study was conducted to assess the water quality and plankton composition in Amblypharyngodon mola fish pond for a period of 4 months in Bangladesh. Nine earthen pond each with three treatments, viz. T1, T2 and T3 were stocked with A. mola at the density of 145,000; 73,000 and 36,500 individual ha-1, respectively. Water quality parameters such as water temperature, transparency, total alkalinity, pH, dissolved oxygen, Nitrate- nitrogen, ammonia-nitrogen, phosphate-phosphorus and chlorophyll-a of the ponds water were measured. Water quality parameters (except transparency and chlorophyll-a) did not show any significant differences (P> 0.05) among the treatments. The lowest PO4-P and chlorophyll-a concentration were observed in treatment T1 where 145,000 individual ha-1 of A. mola was cultured. Plankton samples were also…
