I love translating An Experiment was Conducted at The Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand, for 54 days to investigate on The Effect of Water Pond FILTRATION and Aggregates (Hydroponic substrates) on lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) production, nutrient uptake and growth. A. 2 × 3 factorial Experiment consisting of 2 FILTRATION regimes (Unfiltered Versus partially filtered Pond Water) and 3 Aggregates (Styrofoam As Control, Sand, and Gravel). The Hydroponic units were Placed on a Bamboo platform Across The Pond surface. An earthen Pond (. 226m2) was stocked with 8000 HYBRID Catfish with an Average Initial Weight of 6:58 ± 1.72 G. The Fish were Fed with Commercial pelleted feeds containing 30% Crude protein. Twenty-One days Old lettuce seedlings were transplanted on to Hydroponic units After stocking Catfish for. 4 months in The Pond. Pond Water was partially filtered by using a settling tank and FILTRATION tank, which Contained Netting materials to Trap solids. Lettuce Irrigated plots were Twice Daily at 0800 and the 1600th h using either filtered or Unfiltered Water Pond for 45 min. The Highest Head Weight and yield of lettuce were observed with Plants Grown on The Sand Media followed by Gravel and The Control Treatments. Partially filtered Pond Water Treatments had significantly Higher lettuce yield (P <twelve five a.m.) and FILTRATION increased lettuce yield of The Control, Gravel. and Sand Treatments by 87, 63 and 52%, respectively, over Unfiltered Water Treatments. Lettuce Grown on Gravel and The filtered Water Control Treatments had adequate Tissue N content. Nutrient rich HYBRID Catfish (Clarias macrocephalus × Clarias gariepinus) Pond Water provides an Opportunity. to Use it in The Hydroponic Vegetable production. Although Pond Water is mainly constrained by The High Suspended solids, and Low Dissolved Oxygen, The Study showed that FILTRATION of Catfish Pond Water Enhanced The Potential to Use it for The Hydroponic lettuce production. © in 2010 Elsevier.

Introduction Hybrid Catfish (Clarias macrocephalus × Clarias gariepinus) is widely Cultured in earthen Ponds in Southeast Asia at stocking densities As High As Fishm 30-100-2 by using Various feedstuffs Such As pelleted Feed, Trash Fish,. Poultry processing wastes and Rice Bran (Areerat, in 1987; Little et AL., 1994; Lan, 1,999th). The feeding behavior of this Air-Breathing Catfish results in accumulation of Feed, fecal, and excretory wastes in Pond Water (Mires et AL. ., in 1990; Schwartz and Boyd, 1994; Cathcart et AL., 1,999th; Lan, one thousand nine hundred ninety-nine; Yi et AL., 2003rd; Porrello et AL., 2,005). This nutrient rich Catfish effluent provides an Opportunity to Use it As a fertilizer. Supplement in Agriculture. Wood et AL. (2001) Reported When Fish Pond effluent that was Used for Irrigation of Wheat, it was possible to Harvest 2140 to 5,790 kg * Corresponding.
