Assessment of Water Quality in Some Biodegradable and Non- Biodegradable Substrates Added Periphyton Systems

Yasmeen Shaikh | Chavan S. P.

Abstract: The water is universal solvent. The physico-chemical properties of water has vital role in the aquatic ecosystem. The physico-chemical characters are fundamental for the development of aquatic organisms. The physico-chemical parameters determine the presence and absence of biota in an ecosystem. Substrates added water was found with more fluctuation in the parameters as compare to standard values of aquaculture. The biodegradable substrates have nutrient diffusing properties since these substrates uptake of phosphate, nitrates and sulphate from the substrates added water. Therefore the use of combination of substrates is suggested to improve quality of water as well as primary production of fresh water ecosystem.
