protection of aquatic organisms from major changes in pH. In low alkalinity waters‚ where CO2 and dissolved carbonates are at low concentrations‚ photosynthesis may be inhibited‚ thus restricting phytoplankton growth. Levels above 175 mg CaCO3/L reduces natural food production in ponds which‚ in turn‚ leads to a decrease in optimal production. Salt water is slightly alkaline and has a strong buffering capacity so alkalinity is not usually of concern for most seawater and brackish water aquaculturists
