Water Quality Status in Fish Cage Culture Area: Case study Klong Rangsit Prayurasakdi, Klong 13, Nong Suea, Pathum Thani Province
Abstract
This research study was conducted with sample collection of aquatic qualities in fish cage culture area, Klong Rangsit Prayurasakdi, Klong 13, Nong Suea, Pathum Thani Province during September 2015 and February 2016. The results indicated that the water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and transparency ranged between 25.2-32.3 oC, 6.9-7.0, 2.4-4.9 mg/L and 19.0-41.0 cm, respectively. The level of NH4+-N, NO2--NO3- -N, Si(OH)4-Si and PO43--P in this area ranged from 5.62-23.58 mM, 13.97-37.21 mM, 89.90-252.55 mM, and 0.40-2.62 mM, respectively. The chlorophyll a concentration and phytoplankton density varied from 2.67-36.7 mg/L and 550-13,976 unit/L, respectively. Three phyta and 27 genera of phytoplankton were discovered in the area. The dominant groups were cyanobacteria (Lyngbya), chlorophyta (Pandorina), and diatoms (Aulacoseira). Overall, the high level of NH4+-N, chlorophyll a, and phytoplankton density were found in Klong Rangsit Prayurasakdi and nearly fish cage area. The level of chlorophyll a was applied to examine the trophic status in this area could be classified as mesotrophic and hypertrophic status. Keywords: trophic status, fish cage culture, Klong Rangsit PrayurasakdiReferences
