Pond Aquaculture in Waterlogged Salt-Alkali Land

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Aquaculture Ecology

Abstract

Salt-alkali land refers to the soil with high levels of salt content or/and alkalinity, which interferes with normal growth of crops. More than 100 countries in the world embrace salt-alkali land. Every day for over 20 years, an average of 2000 hectares of irrigated land in arid and semiarid areas in 75 countries have been degraded by salt. The sea level rise caused by global climate change may also accelerate land salinization. Therefore, how to efficiently and sustainably exploit these salt-alkali land resources is one of important issues that human beings face. Nowadays, the integrated utilization of salt-alkali land by aquaculture and agriculture is one of the effective ways to exploit salt-alkali land resources. This chapter will briefly introduce the pond-based aquaculture-agriculture system on salt-alkali land, tolerance of farmed aquatic animals to saline and alkaline water, water quality control of the ponds, etc.
