Evaluation of the Effect of Quicklime on Some Organisms from Different Ecosystems in Egypt: Morphological Perspective

摘要

Quicklime needs wise management decisions before using either in the terrestrial or aquatic environment, especially in fish farms against benthic organisms infected with pathogenic parasites. It has been found that its reaction with water led to water heating, and other disturbances appear to occur. Many health problems have been observed on fish due to lime water. Lime kills snails when it is in a dry state or hydrate, also at high concentrations in addition dangerous to fish. On the other hand, in agriculture, lime water may not be recommended because of its 'in vitro'' negative effect on the green material of the plant as well. Therefore, it seems better to be away or needs a lot of precautions before applying it specifically as a disinfectant in dense fish farms. It is clear that biological control looks better, perhaps by grazing certain predators. Moreover, to protect the health of workers from invaders, special clothing should be taken seriously during irrigation or fishing as an important preventive measure.
