My pond suffered a disease outbreak 30 days after stocking the last crop. Please advise me how to prepare the pond for the next crop?
Prepare the pond normally by removing the black soil (sludge), which has a bad smell. Dispose this removed sludge away from the pond site. Maintain the water reservoir and culture the plankton in reservoir first and then trfer the water to grow-out ponds. Avoid clear water at stocking by adding more fertilizer to get a green color. Maintain pH and alkalinity by applying the required quantity of lime. This entire process may require 30 days before stocking. So plan the pond preparation accordingly.
