In fish, fast starts are brief, sudden accelerations during predator–prey encounters. They
serve for escape and predation and are therefore ecologically important movements. Fast …

The fast-start escape response in fish is essential for predator avoidance, but almost nothing
is known about whether sublethal concentrations of pollutants can impair this reflex …

Our goals were:(i) to determine whether sublethal concentrations of water-borne ammonia
would prevent the formation of a dominance hierarchy, or alter its structure, in groups of 4 …

Ammonia has relatively toxic effects on fish and other aquatic organisms. This study
examined whether juvenile silver catfish exposed to alarm substances released by …

Ammonia is an environmental pollutant that is toxic to all aquatic animals. The toxic effects of
ammonia can be modulated by other physiological processes such as feeding and …

Ammonia is a pollutant frequently found in aquatic ecosystems. In fish, ammonia can cause
physical damage, alter its behaviour, and even cause death. Exposure to ammonia also …

Several freshwater invertebrate and vertebrate prey species rely on chemosensory cues,
including non-injury released disturbance cues, to assess and avoid local predation threats …

This study aimed to elucidate the physiological effects of high environmental ammonia
(HEA) following periods of feeding (2% body weight) and starvation (unfed for 7 days prior to …

In the study, we assessed how acute changes in water temperature and dissolved ammonia
concentration can affect the swimming behavior pattern of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus …

We examined the acute physiological responses to high environmental ammonia (HEA),
particularly the linkages between branchial ammonia fluxes and unidirectional Na+ fluxes …
