Identifying the Key Parameters in Mathematical Model to Simulate the Main Nutrients Transformation Process in Vietnamese Catfish (Pangasianodon Hypophthalmus) Ponds
Main Article Content
Abstract
Pangasius farming is a process of putting a large amount of material into the pond but then only harvesting a small amount of the farmed fish and discharging the rest as waste into the aquatic environment. This practice pollutes water sources and degrades the water environment in nearby rivers and canals. To address this issue, it is necessary to establish a mathematical model that can simulate the nutrient transformation processes in the pond. This study aims to set up a mathematical model to simulate the variation in the compositions of major nutrients in Pangasius ponds, determine the key parameters affecting the model, optimize the culture regime, enhance fish quality, and minimize environmental impact. The results have shown that the model’s output data after calibration is relatively close to reality and the key parameters of the model were defined.
