Roles of Phosphorus in Aquaculture
Bone and Tissue Formation: Phosphorus is a vital component of bones, teeth, and other tissues. It works in conjunction with calcium to ensure proper skeletal development.
Energy Metabolism: Phosphorus is involved in energy transfer processes within cells, contributing to the overall energy metabolism of aquatic organisms.
DNA and RNA Synthesis: Phosphorus is a constituent of DNA and RNA, the genetic material essential for growth and reproduction.
Acid-Base Balance: Phosphorus helps regulate the pH balance in the body, ensuring optimal conditions for various physiological functions.
