Shrimp (Peneaus Vannamei) pond sludge characteristics

Shrimp aquaculture is an important industry in Sarawak as it brings income and provides protein for the local population. However, during harvesting, sludge at the bottom of the pond had to be removed from the pond before the next stocking occurs. The characteristics of pond sludge had to be studi...
