Secchi disk is a very important tool for measuring the transparency of the water in your tank.
Water transparency is very important when growing fish in excavated or elevated ponds.Water transparency is associated with the production of phytoplankton and zooplankton and the presence of organisms is essential to keep the pond healthy and productive, as well as indirectly measuring the amount of total suspended solids
Phytoplankton produces oxygen and serves as food for zooplankton and other types of fish, it also helps in cycling nutrients in the water and eliminating unwanted substances. However, in large quantities, phytoplankton can hinder the penetration of light, preventing the photosynthesis process and the production of oxygen, negatively influencing the health of animals and increasing their lethality..
