| A study was conducted in seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and oyster (Crassostrea gigas) ponds to assess the levels of heterogeneity of sediments and settling particles. The intensity of sampling to estimate with high accuracy some characteristics will depend on the magnitude of the variation within the population under consideration. Several variables, such as total phosphate (Tot-P), total iron (Tot-Fe), total ammonium nitrogen (TAN), organic carbon (Org-C), total nitrogen (Tot-N) and P fractions were analysed during the rearing period. The box-and-whisker plots were used as graphical/statistical tools to visualize the descriptive statistical characteristics of the data. In the fish pond, the sediments have high concentrations of Tot-P, Tot-Fe and TAN in... |
