Abstract

Aquaculture industry, one of the important agricultural businesses, can cause an environmental problem and its sustainability public concern. Nutrient leaching from commercial feed pellets have been reported as one of the reasons of a deterioration of water body. We studied the abundance and form of phosphorus leaching from three commercial shrimp and fish feed pellets. After immerse a White shrimp, Nile Tilapia and Walking Catfish feed pellet of 30 minutes, phosphorus was found in all leachates. However the abundance of total phosphorus leaching from Nile Tilapia and Walking Catfish feed pellets were significantly (p<0.05) higher than White Shrimp feed pellet. Dissolved Inorganic Phosphorus, a form which is readily available for phytoplankton growth, was the major form of phosphorus in this study. Daily amount of phosphorus leaching from commercial White shrimp, Nile Tilapia and Walking Catfish feed pellets were 2.48 7.93 and 9.96 g-P/ 1,000 kg of shrimp or fish weight. The phosphorus might cause an environmental problem particularly a bloom of algae in water body.    Keyword : leaching, phosphorus, commercial fish feed pellet
