The changing face of pond aquaculture in China
Pond aquaculture in China is trending further from traditional carp polyculture toward monoculture of higher-value fish species.

Effects of mechanical aeration on evaporation rate, water temperature
This study compared water temperature and water loss by evaporation in control ponds and in ponds aerated with surface aerators at four different aeration rates. Increased aeration rate increases the evaporation rate, which in turn lowers water temperature.

Misuses of sodium bicarbonate in pond aquaculture
Sodium bicarbonate is a useful chemical in recirculating aquaculture systems and fish transport tanks. However, two common uses of the compound in pond culture – to remove carbon dioxide and treat off-flavors – do not work.
