How to manage Hydrogen Sulfide in shrimp ponds
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which can form in pond bottom sediment, is toxic to aquatic animals because it interferes with the cytochrome a3’s reabsorption during respiration. The main practices to minimize the risk of toxicity of hydrogen sulfide are careful feeding to avoid wasted wastewater at the bottom of ponds, aeration to avoid low dissolved oxygen levels and create a stream of water with additional oxygen. Across the interface between land and water, liming to…
