When the aerator is turned on in the shrimp pond, the water appears turbid, which may be caused by various factors and requires comprehensive analysis and treatment. Here are some possible reasons and corresponding solutions: Possible reasons
1. Excessive feeding of bait: Excessive feeding of bait can lead to the accumulation of bait residue in the water, causing turbidity in the water.
2. Accumulation of sediment: If the bottom of the shrimp pond is not cleaned for a long time, excessive accumulation of sediment can also make the water turbid.
3. Improper placement of aerator: Improper placement of aerator, such as facing directly towards the water surface or being placed too far away, may affect the circulation and mixing of the water, leading to turbidity.
4. High aquaculture density: The excessive aquaculture density of shrimp can lead to an increase in metabolites and organic matter in the water, affecting the clarity of the water quality.
5. Changes in water quality: The water quality of shrimp ponds is affected by factors such as temperature, pH value, and salinity. If not adjusted in a timely manner, it may lead to deterioration of water quality, resulting in turbidity of the water body. Solution measures
1. Reasonably control the feeding of bait: Based on the quantity, weight, and growth stage of shrimp, the feeding amount should be reasonably controlled to avoid excessive feeding leading to the accumulation of bait residue.
2. Regular cleaning of sediment: Regularly clean the bottom of the shrimp pond to maintain the dispersion of sediment and reduce its impact on the water body. This can be achieved through the use of dredging equipment or biological methods.
3. Adjust the position of the aerator: Place the aerator in the central position around the shrimp pond, avoiding facing directly towards the water surface, and adjust the height and model of the aerator as needed to ensure that the water can be evenly stirred and circulated.
4. Control aquaculture density: Based on the conditions of the shrimp pond and the level of aquaculture management, reasonably control the aquaculture density of shrimp to avoid excessive density aquaculture leading to water quality deterioration.
5. Strengthen water quality monitoring and adjustment: Regularly monitor the water quality indicators of shrimp ponds, such as dissolved oxygen, pH value, ammonia nitrogen, nitrite, etc., and adjust the water quality in a timely manner based on the test results. Water quality can be improved by changing the water or adding water quality protectants.
6. Introducing beneficial microorganisms: Introducing beneficial microorganisms such as nitrifying bacteria and photosynthetic bacteria into shrimp ponds to promote organic matter decomposition and nitrogen cycling in the water, and improve the self purification capacity of the water.
7. Use water quality regulators: Depending on the needs, appropriate amounts of water quality regulators such as zeolite powder, organic acids, and bottom modified tablets can be used to improve water quality and reduce turbidity.
To solve the problem of turbid water in shrimp ponds when the aerator is turned on, multiple aspects need to be taken into account, including reasonable control of bait feeding, regular cleaning of sediment, adjustment of aerator position, control of aquaculture density, strengthening water quality monitoring and adjustment, and introduction of beneficial microorganisms. Through the comprehensive application of these measures, the water quality of shrimp ponds can be effectively improved and the efficiency of aquaculture can be enhanced.
