Abstract
Sediment accumulation rate and carbon burial rate in Pacific white shrimp ponds was reported. The results can be helpful for the sediment quality management during crop to get the high productivity of both marketable species and to make the environment sustainable. The sediment accumulation rate and carbon burial rate were studied at shrimp farm in Phetchaburi Province, upper Gulf of Thailand. The two ponds were sampled every two weeks for one crop. The most sediment quality parameters were appropriated standard criteria. However, at the end of the crop, total nitrogen and organic carbon were higher than other periods (p<0.05) and higher than standard criteria. It indicated that the amount of accumulated waste in the ponds increased with enhancing culture periods. The sediment depth had a high level of positive correlation (p<0.05) with total nitrogen (r=0.965), total phosphorus (r=0.785) and organic carbon (r=0.817). The results indicated that the nutrient and waste increased along the culture periods and the highest amount during the harvesting period. The averaged data of sediment accumulation rate were 21.50±2.95 cm·yr-1 and the averaged data of carbon burial rate in the Pacific white shrimp ponds in study area were 51.94±26.55 g C·m2·yr-1
