Laukio sankaupų gausa, pasiskirstymas ir formavimosi fenologija tirta naudojantis duomenimis surinktais 2009-2010 m. dvidešimt viename Lietuvos žuvininkystės ūkyje. Bendras ūkių plotas sudarė apie 10000 ha. Per sezoną (balandy - gegužę) kiekviename ūkyje buvo atliekama 13 apskaitų. Sprendžiant pagal maksimalias sankaupų reikšmes atskiruose ūkiuose, bendras maksimalus laukių skaičius Lietuvos žuvininkystės tvenkiniuose 2009 ir 2010 m sudarė atitinkamai 17793 (vidut. 855,86±SD710,94 ir 18107 (862,24 ±SD612,78). Tačiau kai kuriuose tvenkiniuose susitelkdavo net iki 1000-3000 laukių. Statistiškai patikimo skirtumo tarp laukių bendros gausos 2009 ir 2010 metais neaptikta. Tačiau nuo 2009 -2010 iki 1996-2001 sankaupų gausa patikimai išaugo. Toks teigiamas trendas aiškintinas gausiau beriamais žuvų pašarais paskutiniais tyrimų metais. Kol žuvų tvenkiniuose yra vanduo laukių koncentracija čia 0,3-2 karto didesnė nei ežeruose. Tačiau ankstyvas vandens nuleidimas žuvininkystės ūkių tvenkiniuose neleidžia laukių sankaupoms padidėti iki maksimalių reikšmių. Vidutiniškai, sankaupas formuojantys laukiai išnaudoja 34,08 % (2009 m.) - 41,18 % ūkių tvenkinių teritorijos. Pagal šį rodiklį žuvų auginimo tvenkiniai užima tarpinę poziciją tarp eutrofinių ir mezotrofinių taip vadinamų “laukių ežerų”. Papildomo maisto (žuvų pašarų) faktorius dominuoja tarp kitų – laukių gausos skirtumus tarp ūkių apsprendžiančių – faktorių. Iš pastarųjų antras pagal svarba yra žuvininkystės ūkio plotas. / Research of abundance, distribution and phenology of Coot staging concentrations were performed using data-basis, from 21 fish farms in Lithuania. In total, 10000 ha pond area was covered with 13 counts carried out on each fish farm since April to October, in 2009-2010. According to peak values from each fish farm total amounts of Coots in all fish farms were 17793 (average 855,86±SD710,94, and 18107 (862,24 ±SD612,78). In particular ponds, size of Coot concentrations reached from 1000 to 3000 individuals. Difference in total abundance of staging concentrations of Coot in fish farms between 2009 and 2010 years was not significant while between 2009 -2010 and 1996-2001 size of concentrations has increased significantly. The later phenomenon related to improvement of food availability due to increase in amounts of fish foods. When with water, fish ponds supports 0.3-2 times higher concentrations of coots than natural lakes do. However, early amelioration of ponds do not allow Coot concentrations to grow up to its peak. In average, in 2009-2010 staging coots exploited 4,08 % (2009 m.) - 41,18 % of total area of Lithuanian fish ponds. According to these values, fish ponds could be placed between eutrophic and mezotrophic “Coot lakes”. Factor of artificial (fish) food dominates among other factors responsible for differences in numbers of staging coots in fish farms. Area of fish farm ranks as second important factor in this respect.

The total amount of nitrogen and phosphorus in animal manures, and the proportion of this amount that becomes available as dissolved inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus within a month after manures are added to water were examined in the context of fertilization guidelines for pond aquaculture. A literature study was conducted to synthesize information on the dry matter, total nitrogen and total phosphorus contents, and the biochemical oxygen demands of different manures. This information was used to compile a fertilizer database and to examine dry matter-nutrient relationships for different manures. Significantly high correlations between dry matter and total nitrogen, and between dry matter and total phosphorus were observed for poultry manure, and different forms of beef and dairy cattle manures. These relationships can be used to estimate the nutrient contents of manures if the dry matter contents are measured. A laboratory experiment was conducted to determine the amount of nitrogen and phosphorus that becomes available as dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) over a five week period when poultry, swine and dairy manures are added to water. Mean DIN and DIP concentrations reached highest levels on the 5th day after manure addition for all the manures. These concentrations corresponded to 60.5, 49.5 and 30.1% of the total nitrogen and 78.4, 77.4 and 58% of the total phosphorus supplied by poultry, swine and dairy manures respectively. DIN and DIP concentrations were significantly different among the three manures on all sampling days. Poultry manure supplied the highest amount of nitrogen and phosphorus, followed by swine and dairy manures. Pond fertilization guidelines based on the nitrogen and phosphorus requirements for algae should consider the available portion and not the total nitrogen and phosphorus contents of manures to calculate fertilizer requirements. Another study was conducted to examine the effects of temperature and repeated manure addition on nutrient release patterns from poultry manure. Different temperatures over a three week period did not have a pronounced impact on DIN and DIP levels. Two phases of DIN build-up were observed, whereas DIP levels showed an increasing pattern throughout the temperature experiment. The overall proportion of the total nitrogen and phosphorus supplied by poultry manure that became available as DIN and DIP for all the experimental units considered together amounted to about 64 and 70% respectively, which is consistent with the earlier study. Repeated manure addition resulted in significantly lower DIN and higher DIP concentrations in the interval following the second manure addition compared to the first interval, although nutrient release patterns appeared to be similar. / Graduation date: 1993
