Fact Sheet Available for Fish Pond (Aquaculture) Water Quality

The Arkansas Water Resources Center (AWRC) has published its second fact sheet – this one is on collecting your water sample and interpreting the results for the fish pond analytical package offered by the AWRC Water Quality Lab.

You probably know that good water quality is important for optimal fish production – but, how is “good water quality” defined? The fish pond fact sheet describes just that – the water quality parameters that are important for fish growth, and how much of these constituents should be in the water.

You can compare your water sample results provided by the Lab with the information in the fact sheet.

To view the Fish Pond fact sheet, visit the AWRC website. For more information, you can contact your extension specialist about your analytical report and any results that may be of concern.

The Lab offers several analytical packages that include parameters important for other specific uses such as irrigation or livestock watering. Stay tuned for upcoming fact sheets for these other packages.
