Soil characteristics
Soil is the basic material for fish farms. Because in general the bottom of the ponds is soil, dykes are constructed by using soil to retain the water, reservoir may also built by soil to store the water and water is supply to the ponds through canals, and drainage canals to discharge unwanted, polluted water is also make up of soil. So it is very important to study some of the important properties such as fertility, texture, permeability and water holding capacity of soil.
