Type: article
Abstract: Currently, to monitor water quality, farmers in Vietnam need to analyze various indicators which increase production costs. In addition, the limitation of analytical facilities and techniques is a challenge. The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the influence of water quality parameters on shrimp growth rates and the seasonal fluctuation in water quality. A total of 4 modules were randomly selected and analyzed daily for 8 critical parameters during rainy and dry seasons. The SPSS ver.26 was used to evaluate the correlation between multi-parameters and their impact on the performance of shrimp ponds. The results showed that shrimp growth was influenced by salinity, nitrite (NO2-), alkalinity and pH about 80.4%, 75.6%, 67.8%, and 55.7%, respectively. Moreover, water quality fluctuated more during the rainy season than during the dry season. Some parameters that exhibited high fluctuation in ponds were dissolved oxygen (DO) and nitrite.
