Contents:
New and 4-year-old (maintained) ponds in acid sulfate soils of coastal swamps in Sri Lanka were compared. Production of shrimp (Penaeus indicus) and fish (Etroplus sunatensis and Chanos chanos) was lower in the new ponds than in the old ponds by a factor of 10. The pH of the water averaged 4.2 in new ponds, 6.1 in old ponds. Acetate soluble sulfates were high: 4,510 and 3,142 mgkg-1 in new and old ponds, respectively.
