Abstract

The quality of water that provides the pond is of especially importance for fish farming i.e. cultivation of fish in artificial ponds. Fish health, productivity and profitability of the pond are directly dependent on the water. For this purpose, physico-chemical and microbial characteristics of water in pond „Cresovo“ were examined. The pond is situated in Cresovo village, region of Skopje. It has an area of 600 m2. The pond is hotwater and pond carp (Cyprinus carpio, Linnaeus) is grown in it. During the months: Аpril, May, August and October, physical-chemical and microbiological testing of water were carried out at the entrance, in the middle and exit in pools where the fish are raised, as well as in the hatchery. It was found that the quality of water, according to the physico-chemical and microbial characteristics, is good for growing carp.
