Descripción:	The Hach CEL/700 Organic Matter Laboratory provided estimates of organic carbon concentrations in pond soil samples comparable to those obtained by the commonly-used Walkley-Black method. Dry ashing at 350-400 C tended to overestimate soil organic matter concentrations, and this procedure requires too much equipment and laboratory expertise for use on most aquaculture farms. The Hach kit can provide practical aquaculturists a simple and reliable method for measuring organic matter in pond soils. Samples from brackishwater ponds should be treated with mercuric sulfate to prevent chloride interference and overestimation of organic matter.
