The forms of migration of manganese in pond waters are suspended matter and truly dissolved forms, including free manganese cations, as well as complex compounds formed by manganese with organic substances. The aim of the work was to study the dynamics of the content of various forms of manganese in the water of fish ponds. The content of individual forms of manganese was established according to the method developed by Linnik and Nabivanets. According to the methodology of Alekin, Semenov and Skopintsev determined hydrochemical parameters. It has been established that the dynamics of the content of manganese forms in different seasons depends mainly on the concentration of dissolved oxygen, pH value, inflow from sludge waters and the content of dissolved organic complexing substances in the water. In winter, free uncomplexed ions are the dominant form of migration. In other seasons, the content of complex forms exceeds the concentration of uncomplexed manganese. The dominant form of manganese migration in spring, summer, and autumn is Mn suspended, while in some periods of the same seasons, Mn dissolved predominates, which is explained by the influence of the intensity of water exchange, where suspended particles settle under conditions of slow runoff.
