Stressful husbandry conditions are likely to affect growth and amino acid metabolism in fish.
In this study, chronic ammonia exposure was used to test the effects of a stressor on growth …

Laboratory rodents made hyperammonemic by infusing ammonia into the blood show
symptoms of brain cell swelling and increased intracranial pressure. These symptoms could …

Sublethal effects of ammonia on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were investigated at
stages of its development (embryos, larvae, and adult fish) using morphological and …

Abstract Salt (NaCl) and gypsum (CaSO4) are used as water additives to mitigate fish stress
and improve specimen survival. High stocking densities and the transportation of fish can …

Juvenile shrimp were individually exposed during 24 h to 0.007 (control), 0.36, 1.07, and
2.14 mmol/l total ammonia-N at 28° C and 39 ppt salinity. After 22 h of ammonia-N exposure …

Effect of 20 days exposure of juvenile gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) to elevated levels
of ammonia on growth and survival was examined in a continuous flow system. Suppressed …

Acute stress may affect metabolism and nitrogen excretion as part of the adaptive response
that allows animals to face adverse environmental changes. In the present paper the acute …

Juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) were exposed periodically and chronically to
different levels of un-ionised ammonia (UIA-N) and the subsequent effect on growth and …

The present study aimed to determine whether gill macro-and microstructure show
compensatory responses in three freshwater fish differing in their sensitivity to high …

Ammonia can easily form in intensive culture systems due to ammonification of uneaten food
and animal excretion, which usually brings detrimental health effects to fish. However, little …
