ABSTRACT
Limnology, the study of the biological, physical, and chemical characteristics of lakes, forms the scientific background for static water aquaculture. Fish culture in stagnant pools can, in fact, be accurately described as applied limnology because it is the practice of manipulating limnological functions for a desired outcome in fish production. The purpose of the present chapter is to present a review of limnological principles pertinent to static water aquaculture.
