Ammonia source, Ammonia management and harmful effect of ammonia on Fish pond



Ammonia 


Ammonia in water basically stayed in two form unionized Ammonia (NH3) and Ammonium ion (NH4 ). Unionized ammonia is very much lethal and predominated when PH is high. In pond environment PH  up and down due to photosynthesis and respiration by pond organisms. Waste nutrients concentration from feed and feases promote dense phutoplankton. During day time in the presence of sunlight phytoplankton produce their own food by photosynthesis process. Day time CO2 is being low and due to rapid photosynthesis , removal of Carbon dioxide ( CO2) converted to carbonate ( CO3) and bi carbonate (H2CO3) and pH become high but at night time when CO2 is high it converted to carbonic acid ( H2CO3) and  pH become low. So there is a relation between pH and plankton.
When ammonia rise in pond, fish can not extract energy from feed effectively. Ultimately fish going to comma and result in death.
