Waterborne ammonia is an environmental pollutant that is toxic to all aquatic animals.
However, ammonia induced toxicity as well as compensatory mechanisms to defend against …

Ammonia has been documented as a respiratory gas that stimulates ventilation, and is
sensed by peripheral neuroepithelial cells (NECs) in the gills in ammoniotelic rainbow trout …

Increased internal ammonia (hyperammonemia) and ischemic/anoxic insults are known to
result in a cascade of deleterious events that can culminate in potentially fatal brain swelling …

Hagfish consume carrion, potentially exposing them to hypoxia, hypercapnia, and high
environmental ammonia (HEA). We investigated branchial and cutaneous ammonia …

For nearly a century, researchers have studied ammonia production and excretion in teleost
fish. Stemming from past investigations a body of knowledge now exists on various aspects …

During commercial handling of Nephropsnorvegicus (L.) there are a number of situations
when the prawns may be exposed to very high ambient ammonia levels. These experiments …

This study was designed to elucidate the strategies adopted by mudskippers to handle
endogenous ammonia during aerial exposure in constant darkness. Under these conditions …

We tested whether exposing fish to low ammonia concentrations induced acclimation
processes and helped fish to tolerate subsequent (sub) lethal ammonia exposure by …

Many fishes are ammonotelic but some species can detoxify ammonia to glutamine or urea.
Certain fish species can accumulate high levels of ammonia in the brain or defense against …

Ammonia is produced in the liver and excreted as NH3 by diffusion across the gills. Elevated
ammonia results in an increase in gill ventilation, perhaps via stimulation of gill oxygen …
