1. Released during atmospheric oxidation of pyrite formation under moist condition at an optimum
moisture content of 30-40 percent. ( Ferrous Iron( Fe2+)
2. Generated in the layer with active sulphate reduction turns the red-lead marking black without
about a week. (Hydrogen sulphide)
3. Results from water formation of pyrite which is fixed and accumulated by the reduction of
sulphate from slat water. ( Acid Sulphate Soil)
4. Can be felt distinctly, even when not readily visible in loamy soils. ( Sand Grains)
5. Feels like flour or dough between fingers. ( Silty Soils)
6. Efficient means of sealing ponds. (Puddling)
7. Major problem of site selection for coastal pond farms in the tropics. (Prevalence of acids
sulphate soils.)
8. Most commonly used installation in land-based aquaculture. ( Pond farms and hatcheries)
9. Best for diking. ( Sandy-clay loam)
10. Acid water with a pH range of ___________ can be harmful to the eggs and fry of most fish and
the adults of many. ( 5.0-5.5)
11. < 0.002mm. (clay)
12. 2.00-0.05mm. (Soil)
13. 0.05-0.002mm. (Silt)
14. Most of the economical method of water management for a coastal farm. ( Tidal flow)
15. A tidal fluctuation of around ____ is considered. (3m)
16. At low pH, oxidizing bacteria convert ferrous iron to?.( Ferric Iron 2+)
17. At higher pH, almost all ferric iron is hydrolysed and precipitated as?.( ferric hydroxide)
18. Considered suitable for pond construction. ( sandy clay to clayey loam soils)
19. Scientific name of Red mangrove( Rhizophora Mangle)
20. Most important properties to be examined. ( Texture and porosity)
21. HAT stands for? ( Highest Astronomical Tide)

23. MHWN. ( Mean High Water Neap)
24. Before a site can be selected for a project, the following should be ascertained, except;
(C. climate)
25. Uses very high densities of culture organism (e.g., 200 000-300 000 shrimp PL/ha/crop) and is
totally dependent on artificial, formulated feeds. ( Intensive culture)
26. More prevalent and involves rather small ponds (0.5 to 1 hectare in an area) with higher
stocking density (10000 to 15000 fish/ha).( Semi-intensive culture)
27. Use low stocking densities (e.g., 5 000-10 000 shrimp post larvae (PL)/ha/crop) and no
supplemental feeding. ( Extensive culture)
28. Allow water to flow into and out features as well as controlling the rate at which water flows
along and out of the system.( Water Outlet)
29. Built to control the amount of water flowing into the pond at all times.( Inlet)
30. Word for a channel controlled at its head by a movable gate which is called a sluice gate.( Sluice)
