ABSTRACT
Fertilization of tanks determines the growth of fish food.
The fertility of the tank soil can be improved through fertilization.
Therefore, it is necessary that every fish farmer knows the types and quality
of fertilizers to apply to his fish tanks for proper growth of fish foods and
better fish yields. Organic fertilizers commonly used in fish tanks include cow
dung, poultry droppings, and pig dung, etc. Organic fertilizers are recommended
for gradual release of nutrients and good soil conditioning. It is locally available
and also leads to inducement of growth of fish foods. The major purpose of
fertilizers is to release nutrient into the water. The basic nutrients needed
are nitrate and phosphate which will support the growth of algae on which the
zooplankton feed.
