Abstract
The performance of a model developed by Ali (2006) to simulate aquaculture pond temperature was evaluated using sensitivity analysis and the model verified with data from aquaculture pond. The sensitivity analysis showed that output varied linearly with changes in average air temperature and solar radiation. Results from model verification runs showed that the model performance was satisfactory with respect to aquaculture pond temperature. In the future, the model will be used to investigate the effects of aquaculture pond temperature on daily growth rate to obtain the weight of individual fish throughout the year.
