Abstract

The present study was conducted to remove chloride salinity from fish ponds because it is toxic to fish at concentrations of less than 0.05 mg/L. There are numerous methods currently employed to remove chloride from ponds. Use of chemicals is one of the alternatives for chloride removal. Experiment was conducted to remove chloride using Aluminium hydroxide, Sodium acetate, Aluminium nitrate and Zinc nitrate chemicals. The effect of various physico-chemical parameters of water has been investigated. The explanation of chloride removal by using these chemicals has also been supported by examining the survival and growth rate of fish. An increase in the values of physico-chemical parameters was observed except hardness which was decreased from its initial level. Zinc nitrate was found the most efficient in removing chlorides then Aluminium hydroxide and Aluminium nitrate while Sodium acetate the least efficient one. For fish survival and growth rate Aluminium hydroxide was found the most effective and Zinc nitrate the least effective one.
