Özet

In this study, it was aimed to examine the effects of four different sizes of diatomite on the retention of ammonium in water. The trial was planned into 5 groups of 3 replicated without fish and aeration. In the plastic aquariums where the trial was conducted, 500 ml of tap water, 0.5 g (47.5% crude protein, 6.5% crude oil, 2% cellulose, 6% moisture) and 3 g of diatomites of different sizes (excluding the control group) were placed in each replicate.When the mean water parameter values at the end of the trial were examined, there was no statistical difference in water temperature, dissolved oxygen and pH values (P>0.05). However, in NH4 and TAN values, it was found that the statistically determined difference between the groups was significant (P<0.05). When the ammonium values were compared between the diatomite groups and the control group, it was found that 25.27%, 28.62%, 31.82% and 34.45% lower in D1, D2, D3 and D4 groups, respectively.. As a result, diatomites of different sizes; It has been established that it does not have a negative effect on important water parameters such as pH and dissolved oxygen. According the results of this study, in which the effects of four different sizes of diatomite on water parameters were investigated, show that it can contribute positively to keeping ammonia values, which is extremely important especially for fish farming, at lower values.
