The study was conducted to assess the water quality in super-intensive shrimp ponds in Bac Lieu using water quality parameters such as pH, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD₅), and chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), ammonium (NH₄⁺-N), residual chlorine, total oil and grease and total coliform. Sixty water samples in super-intensive shrimp ponds were collected in 2019 Bac Lieu province. The results showed that the nutrients in the water samples include TN (0.54-36.12 mg/l), NH₄⁺-N (0.016-1,246 mg/l) and TP (0.34-6.12 mg/l) did not exceed the limits of QCVN 40: 2011/BTNMT (column B). Residual chlorine (less than 0.5 mg/l), total oil and grease ( 0.4), BOD (4.43-55.19 mg/l) and TSS (6.1-320 mg/l) exceeding the limits of QCVN 40: 2011/BTNMT (column B) at some locations, while COD (10,21-90,12 mg/l) was below limit of QCVN 40: 2011/BTNMT (column B). Water in shrimp ponds is contaminated with microorganisms when the total coliform density ranged from 1,300 to 95,000 MPN/100ml and there were 40/60 locations having coliform density greater than 5,000 MPN/100ml. The current findings provide important information for shrimp pond management.
