Description:
The water analysis of five selected ponds in Ado-Ekiti in Ekiti State, was carried out to determine their suitability for fish culture. Pa rameters analyzed were: Temperature, Turbidity, Carbon (IV) oxide, Alkalinity, Hardness, pH and Dissolved oxygen. Values for temperature ranged between 20.0~'C and 29.0~'C, Turbidity values were between 46.0-50.2cm, Carbon (IV) oxide: 11.5-12.2mg/litre; alkalinity: 100-120mg/liter; hardness: 110-200mg/litre; pH: 6.8-7.8 and dissolved oxygen: 5.8-6.8mg/liter. The values obtained were found to be within acceptable range for fish production.
