Water quality standards: Biochemical oxygen demand
Biochemical oxygen demand is an index of the oxygen demand in wastewater, an important water quality variable used in effluent management.
Responsibility
Dissolved oxygen concentration is perhaps the most important variable influencing the well-being of fish, shrimp and other aquatic life.

Responsibility
For seawater or brackish water aquaculture management, the salicylate method is best for total ammonia nitrogen analysis.
Responsibility
Two nutrient elements, nitrogen and phosphorus, are responsible for eutrophication in most instances. Phosphorus is usually the key factor.
Responsibility
Solids in water are either in true solution or suspended. Suspended solids remain in suspension because they are so small and light.
Responsibility
The pH of shrimp pond water is influenced by source water, pH and acidity of bottom soil, shrimp culture inputs and biological activity.
Responsibility
GAA's Responsible Aquaculture Program requires shrimp farmers to install certain practices, keep records on activities and satisfy effluent water quality standards.
