1. Clinical Overview & Background
Water quality management is the core determinant of shrimp growth and immune health in aquaculture.
De-chlorination (Neutralizing Chlorine) provides actionable guidelines for maintaining optimal water parameters and preventing hazardous toxic gas build-ups.
4. Step-by-Step Action Protocol
Test water for residual chlorine using a pool test kit.
If chlorine remains after 5 days, apply Sodium Thiosulphate or Vitamin C.
Dose: 1 ppm of Sodium Thiosulphate neutralizes roughly 1 ppm of residual chlorine.
Aerate heavily for 24 hours, then re-test before stocking.
5. Water Parameters & Dosage Benchmarks
| Parameter / Item | Recommended Value | Operational Importance |
|---|---|---|
| Ideal Parameter Range | 7.5 – 8.3 pH | DO > 5 mg/L | Optimal health zone |
| Testing Frequency | Twice daily (5:00 AM & 3:00 PM) | Detects diurnal fluctuations |
7. Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the fastest way to correct low Dissolved Oxygen?
Turn on all paddlewheel aerators immediately and apply emergency liquid oxygen boosters (Sodium Percarbonate) at 2–3 kg/acre.
