Description: Since 1983 PD/A CRSP researchers have conducted comprehensive, long-term research to study the physical, chemical, and biological processes of pond ecosystems in Central and South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia. The results of these studies have been compiled into the PD/A CRSP Central Database, containing over one million observations of pond variables obtained from over one hundred production studies. The studies pertain to the tropical and sub-tropical production of tilapia, peneaid shrimp, and other warmwater culture species in solar algae ponds that receive inputs such as plant materials, inorganic and organic fertilizers, and prepared feeds. Datasets may be searched and retrieved based on geographical location, fish culture methods and species, and desired types of data such as weather, water quality, pond soil, management schedules for water, fertilizers, and fish feeds, and fish production. Datasets may be viewed in tabular and graphical formats or downloaded for use in spreadsheets or other databases. Also available are descriptions of PD/A CRSP research sites, analytical methods, and contacts with PD/A CRSP researchers.
