Biweekly from 30 March to 15 October 1999, 9 kg P2O5/ha from triple superphosphate and 9 kg N/ha were applied to treatment ponds. Control ponds were treated only with biweekly applications of triple superphosphate at 9 kg P2O5/ha. Fish production did not differ between the two nitrogen sources or between the nitrogen sources and the control. Ammonium sulfate treatment caused the total alkalinity and pH of ponds to decline as a result of acidity produced by nitrifying bacteria in the oxidation of ammonia to nitrate. Alkalinity and pH did not decline in the sodium nitrate treatment or control. No other benefits of sodium nitrate versus ammonium sulfate application were observed.
