Abstract

Tra catfish cultivation in Mekong delta does not only bring benefits to farmers but also causes an important pollution source for surface water bodies. By experiments, the rate of BOD520 load discharged from deposited feeds in excess and excrement of tra catfish occurred during its cultivation in An Giang was estimated. It was defined that 488.29g of BOD520 will be emitted to produce one kilogram of tra catfish.
