Abstract
Soil properties and dissolved inorganic nutrients play a critical role in the effective management of water quality and prawn production. This research had two aims: 1) to study soil quality, water quality, nutrient content, and phytoplankton in prawn ponds; and 2) to study other factors affecting prawn production in Kalasin Province. The data of this study was collected by randomly sampling from 7 stations in prawn farms located in Mueang District and Yang Talat District, Kalasin Province, Thailand. Water quality, soil quality, and the amounts of phytoplankton and prawn production from 7 stations were analyzed. The result showed that the average water quality of all parameters of prawn ponds at all stations was similar to natural water sources and the water quality remained well suitable criteria for the livelihood and growth of aquatic animals. Soil quality of prawn ponds from all stations had different values (p<0.05) according to soil characteristics except pH and moisture content. Prawn production from all stations showed that farmers in Kalasin Province used 4 months cultivation period and the yield was not different (p>0.05). The yield of prawn production at stations 2 and 4 was more than 200 kg/rai. Analysis of the correlation revealed that the production of prawns is influenced by alkalinity. Thus, enhancement of freshwater giant prawns production should be proper pond management to encourage the growth of prawn and produce natural food sources.
