  • Test Kit: A set of reagents used in the field to measure water parameters (e.g., ammonia, nitrite, pH).

  • Temperature: A critical parameter. Aquatic animals are "cold-blooded" (ectothermic), and their metabolism (growth, digestion, immunity) is directly dependent on water temperature.

  • Therapeutic: A treatment (e.g., antibiotic, antiparasitic) intended to cure or treat a disease.

  • Tilapia: A genus of freshwater fish, one of the most widely farmed fish in the world.

  • Tolerance: The animal's ability to withstand adverse conditions (e.g., low salinity, high temperature).

  • Toxicity: The quality or degree of a substance being poisonous (e.g., ammonia toxicity).

  • Traceability: The ability to track the history of a product (from hatchery, feed lot, management) all the way to the final consumer.

  • Turbidity: The cloudiness or haziness of water caused by suspended particles (plankton, clay, organic matter), reducing transparency.
