Chemical and microbiological analysis of sediment from the fishpond "Lukovo"

Abstract

In order to find a way for recycling waste material from fishponds and its use in agricultural production, chemical and microbiological tests of sediment from the fishpond "Lukovo" were carried out during the months of November, December, January, April and May. It was established that the sediment was not contaminated with harmful compounds and heavy metals, but contained a number of microorganisms which make it unusable. This situation indicates that in addition to unused food it contained a lot of fish feces. In order waste material to be used as a supplement in fish food, its previous treatment is necessary.
