Is high alkaline water affects growth of shrimp?

Hello everyone:     It's been a long gap. Hope everyone will find this. Hereafter we will go with frequent posts. I am happy today and wanna share few things regards high alkaline water.  Issues in Inland region:       In India, most of the farming areas are found between low to medium saline water. In inland low saline areas, farmers are facing high alkalinity in their bore water(source water). Due to contamination and pollution we can't able to use the water from creek alone. To compensate this, we need to use bore water (to reduce operational costs also).  Alkalinity and shrimp:       Alkalinity is an complicated thing which available in different forms in aquatic system.        Hopefully, several results shows that, higher alkalinity didn't affect the growth and survival of shrimp.       In biofloc system, alkalinity plays a major role. For the formation of floc and decomposition of total ammonia nitrogen, microbes uses dissolved oxygen, inorganic carbon sources. Due to
