Pond cascades as a tool for ecological aquaculture allowing natural zooplankton succession, nutrient retention, and multiple stocking–harvesting cycles

Includes raw original data on zooplankton density and certified/ accredited (A) analysis reports of water qulity (concentrations of nutrients etc.) from accredited third-party laboratory (Povodí Vltavy, State Enterprise, in Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic). Data are on month-wise bases (from April to December). Full raw dataset refers to four shallow fishponds (ca. 1–3 ha and 1 m mean depth) in South Bohemia (Czechia). The fishponds are in the protected area due to the water reservoir Jordan, which is located downstream. The ponds under study are in one catchment, in a cascade interconnected by a channel. There was no continuous flow through the cascade; water was manipulated in batches. Fishponds were operated in short, multiple cycles within one growing season.
