Shrimp cultivation is closely related to pond water quality, as water serves as the primary medium for shrimp growth. Quality water helps shrimp to survive and grow optimally, ensuring farmers that production targets are achieved. Poor shrimp pond water quality can lead to various issues for shrimp, from stress to diseases. Therefore, farmers need to regularly monitor water quality.
To monitor water quality, various parameters should be considered, including physical, chemical, and biological parameters. However, many farmers still opt for visual monitoring alone, deeming it sufficient to reflect water quality. While visual monitoring is inadequate and cannot provide complete information about water quality, there are some 'signals' that farmers can detect through visual observation.
