Ocean Chemistry

Water Quality

• Temperature

• Salinity

• Ammonia

• Nitrite

• Nitrate

• pH

• Alkalinity

Temperature

• 66-68oF or 15.5-20oC

Increase in temperature means ?????

What to do????

How does it affect the fish???

Salinity

-Salt content of the water (all salts)

-What are you looking for?

32ppt-36ppt parts per thousand (%=parts per hundred)

-What to do if it is too low?

-What to do if it is too high?

CHLORINE KILLS!!!!!!!!!!!REMEMBER TO DECHLORINATE!!!!!!!!!

Ammonia

Everybody Poops!Ammonia is toxic in concentrations

greater than 1.0ppm

We want ZEROppm

What to do if you find it??????

Dilution is the solution!

Nitrogen cycle

Nitrite

• By product of nitrification

• Toxic to aquatic organisms

• Not sure of the effects on WSB

• Record it so that we will know!

Nitrate

• End product of Nitrification

• Can be toxic to aquatic organisms at higher

Concentrations

We want <20ppm

What to do if you find it greater than 20ppm???

pH

• A measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. Using a scale of 0-14 with 7 being nuetral 1 being very acidic 14 being very alkaline

• We want 8.0-8.4

• What to do if its too low????

• What to do if its too high???

Alkalinity

• Measured in ppm (Calcium carbonate)

• We want the alkalinity to be 300ppm

• What do we do if it is too low????

• What do we do if it is too high???
