jan JJsPond.us,

You know everyone who touts salt in the water posts the URLs from various
sources, but the thing that is interesting is that these degreed people are
dealing with aquaculture facilities not ponds. I have said this over and
over again when Rod has posted them and again and again when Ingrid has
posted them. I have even questioned Ruth office in Georgia which is the
main researcher that Ingrid always quotes and she says that her findings are
for aquaculture facilities not ponds. It is interesting the URL that Rod
always uses for telling you how to dose your water to the right percentage
is a sight that telling how much salt to put in your transport tanks for
trucking the fish over the open road. It has absolutely nothing to do with
ponds and using salt in ponds.

I guess no one actually reads these references because if they did they
would realize that they are not about ponds, but aquaculture techniques
dealing in rearing ponds and recirc systems where you deal with one pound of
fish in two gallons of water, which, by the way, is a lot denser than one
KOI per 100 gallons of water.

These "people" are leaders in their fields, but there are helping
aquaculture facilities not home ponders with keeping their KOI.

These URLs are from the university research facilities at Cornell, Purdue,
Pennsylvania, Texas, Georgia, and etc. but are working to keep aquaculture a
valid alternative agriculture for the U.S.
