Abstract | Hydrogen sulfide, which can form in pond bottom sediment, is toxic to aquatic animals because it interferes with re-oxidation of cytochrome a3 in respiration. The main practices for lessening the risk of hydrogen feres with re-oxidation of cytochrome a3 in respiration. The main practices for lessening the risk of hydrogen sulfide toxicity are conservative feeding to avoid wasted feed on pond bottoms, plenty of aeration to prevent low dissolved-oxygen levels and provide a flow of oxygenated water across the soil-water interface, and liming to prevent acidic sediment and water. |
