Abstract :In this research, the water quality parameters of Nigde province trout fish farms were examined. In this study, physico-chemical analysis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(temperature, dissolved oxygen, chemical oxygen demand, nitrite and nitrate); were conducted seasonally in the entering and exodus of pools at farms. It was concluded from this study, that mean values of the temperature in place of all farms in all seasons were 12.78 oC and 13.02 oC at the pool entering and pool exodus, respectively. Dissolved oxygen insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(O2); average levels were found as 9.17 and 8.69 mg/l in the pool entering and pool exodus, respectively, while the average chemical oxygen demand insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(COD); levels were 22.08 and 25.95 mg/l. The average nitrite insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NO2); levels for all farms in all seasons were 0.019 and 0.021 mg/l at the pool entrance and pool exit, whereas the nitrate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NO3); values were confirmed as 0.217 and 0.248 mg/l, respectively. The results of this study show that the water source used for aquaculture in these farms is suitable for trout farming and the water at the pond outlets is at an acceptable level in terms of water quality parameters.
