3.6. BOD loads
The estimated UBOD load discharged during an exchange event
from an average-sized pond averaged 148 and 331 kg d
and rainy seasons, respectively (Table 7). The corresponding
incremental UBOD means were 93 and 150 kg d
−1
, respectively.
Discharge during the two-day pond draining for harvest added a
UBOD load to the estuary that averaged 1604 and 4144 kg d
during
the dry and rainy seasons, respectively. Incremental UBOD at pond
draining discharged to the estuary a mean of 937 and 1924 kg d
during the dry and rainy seasons, respectively.
