Aeration of Farm Ponds
AERATION is defined as the mixing of air and water through wind action or by forcing air through water. It is a process by which oxygen is dissolved in water. Adequate dissolved oxygen (DO) is necessary in water to sustain fish and other aquatic life and for fish to grow and to keep them from being susceptible to disease. In order to understand the importance of DO better we need to look at some of the principles concerning water and oxygen.
