Abstract

In this research, the water quality parameters of Nigde province trout fish farms were examined. In this study, physico-chemical analysis (temperature, dissolved oxygen, chemical oxygen demand, nitrite and nitrate) were conducted seasonally in the entering and exodus of pools at farms. It was concluded from this study, that mean values of the temperature in place of all farms in all seasons were 12.78 oC and 13.02 oC at the pool entering and pool exodus, respectively. Dissolved oxygen (O2) average levels were found as 9.17 and 8.69 mg/l in the pool entering and pool exodus, respectively, while the average chemical oxygen demand (COD) levels were 22.08 and 25.95 mg/l. The average nitrite (NO2) levels for all farms in all seasons were 0.019 and 0.021 mg/l at the pool entrance and pool exit, whereas the nitrate (NO3) values were confirmed as 0.217 and 0.248 mg/l, respectively. The results of this study show that the water source used for aquaculture in these farms is suitable for trout farming and the water at the pond outlets is at an acceptable level in terms of water quality parameters.

Niğde İlinde Alabalık Çiftliklerinin Su Kalitesi Üzerine Dönemsel Etkilerinin Araştırılması

Abstract

Bu araştırmada, Niğde ili alabalık çiftliklerinin su kalitesi parametreleri incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmada, çiftliklerdeki havuzların giriş ve çıkışlarında mevsimsel olarak fiziko-kimyasal analizler (sıcaklık, çözünmüş oksijen, kimyasal oksijen ihtiyacı, nitrit ve nitrat) yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmadan, tüm mevsimlerde tüm çiftliklerin yerindeki ortalama sıcaklık değerlerinin havuza girişte ve havuz çıkışında sırasıyla 12.78 oC ve 13.02 oC olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Havuza girişte ve havuz çıkışında çözünmüş oksijen (O2) ortalama seviyeleri sırasıyla 9.17 ve 8.69 mg/l, ortalama kimyasal oksijen ihtiyacı (KOİ) 22.08 ve 25.95 mg/l olarak bulunmuştur. Tüm mevsimlerde tüm çiftlikler için ortalama nitrit (NO2) seviyeleri havuz girişinde ve havuz çıkışında 0.019 ve 0.021 mg/l iken, nitrat (NO3) değerleri sırasıyla 0.217 ve 0.248 mg/l olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, bu çiftliklerde yetiştiricilik için kullanılan su kaynağının alabalık yetiştiriciliği için uygun olduğu ve havuz çıkışlarındaki suyunda su kalitesi parametreleri bakımından kabul edilebilir düzeyde olduğu görülmüştür.
