Abstract

Proportions of clay and silt increase and those of sand and gravel decrease with depth in fish ponds. Highest concentrations of nitrogen and organic matter and lowest concentrations of phosphorus were found in muds from deeper waters. Cation exchange capacity of muds increased with depth while pH of muds decreased with depth. Relationships between water depth and characteristics of muds should be considered to reduce bias when sampling pond muds.
