ACTION OF BOTTOM SOIL ON PENAEID SHRIMP CULTURE

The present paper is based on the results of experiments on the adsorption of sulfide of bottom soil, which were carried out in 1979-1981, and gives special emphasis on the problem of the occurrence of the harm caused by hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) to the shrimps cultured in the high-production earthen pond. The scientific basis of prevention and control of the harm caused by hydrogen sulfide occurring in the pond and a simple effective measure for high, stable production of penaeid shrimp culture are proposed accordingly.
