Bottom Soils, Sediment, and Pond Aquaculture

Rating:
Summary: An in-depth explanation of pond bottom chemistry.
Review: Dr. Boyd has done an excellent job addressing the often overlooked influence of pond soils and sediments on water quality in aquaculture ponds. Boyd discusses the obvious as well as the obscure in terms of pond chemistry. Included within is the the best discussion of reduction-oxidation potential in bottom sediments to be found. Dr. Boyd is to be commended on his ability to translate highly scientific material into language that can be grasped and understood by the non-scientist. A must-have for the serious aquaculturist or pond manager.
