The theory of non-ionic diffusion predicts that ammonia will distribute between intracellular and extracellular tissue compartments according to transmembrane pH gradients. The distribution of ammonia and14C-DMO were compared in white muscle and plasma of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) at rest, and following exhaustive exercise. Under both experimental conditions, intracellular ammonia levels far exceeded those predicted by transmembrane pH gradients. Calculated equilibrium potentials for ) were very close to published resting values of membrane potential Em in fish white muscle. We conclude that NH 4 + is permeable across cell membranes and that intracellular ammonia stores are not determined by pH gradients.The term ammonia or Tamm will be used to indicate the total ammonia concentration, while NH 4 + and NH3 will refer to ammonium ion and nonionic ammonia, respectively.  相似文献

Ammonia toxicity and morphological changes in gills of juvenile Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus (5.76 ± 0.12 g) were investigated when fish were separately exposed to normal dissolved oxygen (DO) at 6.5 ± 0.5 mg L?1 and supersaturated oxygen at 16.0 ± 2.0 mg L?1 at different ammonia concentrations. Under normal oxygen, ammonia concentrations were tested from 0.04 (control) to 93.3 mg L?1 total ammonia nitrogen (TAN), whereas under oxygen supersaturation, ammonia concentrations ranged from 0.04 (control) to 226.7 mg L?1 TAN in the trial. After exposure to ammonia for 96 h, the ammonia LC50 for fish was 62.48 mg L?1 TAN (0.50 mg L?1 NH3–N) at normal oxygen and 160.71 mg L?1 TAN (0.65 mg L?1 NH3–N) at oxygen supersaturation. Light microscopic observations confirmed that gill damage in normal oxygen was more profound than in oxygen supersaturation when fish were exposed to the same level of TAN (93.3 mg L?1). Furthermore, electron microscopic scanning also showed more crimple, retraction and fibrosis on the secondary lamella surface in fish exposed to normal oxygen than those in fish exposed to supersaturated oxygen at the same TAN (93.3 mg L?1). This study suggests that supersaturated oxygen can increase ammonia tolerance in Japanese flounder through reducing gill damage by ammonia, which partially explains the merit of using pure oxygen injection in intensive fish farming.  相似文献

Empirical data on ammonia excretion rates were compiled from several published and unpublished growth studies on post-smolt Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L. Fish in all studies were fed to satiation with commercially produced high-energy diets (ME = 18–19 MJ kg-1) with a protein content of 40–45%. About 35 ± 3% (mean SE) of the nitrogen supplied to fish was excreted as total ammonia (TAN = NH3-N + NH4+-N). The results of a linear regression analysis of N intake to N excretion demonstrated, however, that TAN excretion rates could be divided into two components: TANexcretion [g N kg fish-1 day-1] = 0.036 + 0.26 Nintake [g N kg fish-1 day-1]. The intercept of the regression equation indicates that the endogenous TAN excretion rates in post-smolts could be estimated as 36 mg TAN kg fish-1 day-1, and about 26% of the nitrogen supplied to the fish was excreted postprandially. This postprandial TAN excretion was lower than that from other salmonid species fed low-energy diets. The daily maximum TAN excretion rate was about 43% higher than daily mean values, which agree with several studies. The ammonia quotient (A.Q.) measured was independent of the nitrogen supplied, and was calculated as 0.112. The outputs from the present model were compared to those from other ammonia excretion models.  相似文献

A comprehensive acute toxicity trial was conducted using a static water system to study the toxic effect of ammonia on haematology and enzyme profiles of Cirrhinus mrigala H. The LC50 of total ammonia‐nitrogen (TAN) was 11.8 mg L?1 TAN (1.029 mg L?1 NH3‐N). The sub‐lethal test revealed that with increasing concentration of TAN, the total erythrocyte counts were reduced in lower concentrations (1–4 mg L?1 TAN) followed by higher levels in fish exposed to higher concentrations (8–16 mg L?1 TAN). In contrast, the total leucocyte counts were opposite. With increasing concentration of TAN, haemoglobin and serum protein content were reduced, whereas the blood glucose level increased. As the concentration of ammonia increased, there was a reduction in acetylecholinesterase activity in the brain and liver; alkaline phosphatase activity in the serum, brain and gill; and acid phosphatase (ACP) activity in the gill. The activity of lactate dehydrogenase in the gill, liver, kidney and brain increased with increased concentration of ammonia. In addition, activities of ACP in the serum and brain, alanine aminotransferase in the serum, brain and gill, and aspartate aminotransferase in the serum, brain and gill were increased.  相似文献

This study investigated the secondary stress responses of Paralichthys orbignyanus exposed to ammonia and nitrite and after recovery. Fish were exposed to 0.12, 0.28, and 0.57 mg NH3‐N/L, or 5.72, 10.43, and 15.27 mg NO2‐N/L for 10 d followed by the same time length for recovery. Ammonia‐ and nitrite‐free water was used as a control treatment. Blood samples were collected after 1, 5, and 10 d of exposure and after recovery. Fish exposed to ammonia presented lower and higher glucose levels after 10 d of exposure and recovery, respectively. Ammonia induced initial and transient ionic disturbances and metabolic alkalosis. Nitrite exposure caused hyperglycemia, increased plasma K+ levels, and respiratory alkalosis, whereas metabolic acidosis was observed after recovery. Increased proportion of monocytes and/or granulocytes and reduced number of lymphocytes were demonstrated in fish exposed to 0.28 mg NH3‐N/L (Day 1) and 10.43 mg NO2‐N/L (Day 5) and after recovery in the 0.28 and 0.57 mg NH3‐N/L treatments. Exposure to ammonia decreased the proportion of granulocytes on Day 5. In conclusion, exposure to concentrations at 0.12 mg NH3‐N/L and 5.72 mg NO2‐N/L provoked physiological disorders in Brazilian flounder. Nonetheless, fish exposed to 5.72 mg NO2‐N/L following a 10‐d recovery period showed complete resumption of homeostasis.  相似文献

Four successive life stages (zoea-III, zoea-IV, zoea-V and megalopa) of the Chinese mitten-handed crab, Eriocheir sinensis (H. Milne-Edwards), were exposed to ammonia in a series of short-term bioassays with the static-renewal method at 22°C, pH 8.0 and 25%o salinity. The greatest sensitivity was observed in the zoea-III stage. The 24-h LC50 values for zoea-III, zoea-IV, zoea-V and megalopa were 32.8, 73.1, 84.0 and 90.1 mg L?1 for NH3+ NH4+, and 1.11, 2.36, 2.77 and 3.18 mg L?1 for NH3, respectively. The 72-h LC50 values for zoea-III, zoea-IV and zoea-V were 11.9, 23.6 and 38.2 mg L?1 for NH3+ NH4+, and 0.40, 0.76 and 1.26 mg L?1 for NH3, respectively. The 96-h LC50 values for megalopa were 37.3 mg L?1 for NH3+ NH4+ and 1.31 mg L?1 for NH3. It was found that ammonia tolerance increased with larval development from zoea-III to megalopa, especially from zoea-III to zoea-IV and from zoea-IV to zoea-V. A comparison of safe levels of ammonia among the different life stages indicated that all stages were significantly different with respect to safe levels of ammonia (P < 0.05) except zoea-V and megalopa, which had the highest safe levels. In general, both the larvae and juveniles of E. sinensis are less resistant to ammonia than those of other crustacean species studied so far.  相似文献

False clownfish, Amphiprion ocellaris, is one of the most commercialized fish species in the world, highly produced to supply the aquarium market. The high stocking densities used to maximize fish production can increase ammonia and nitrite to toxic levels. In this study, A. ocellaris juveniles (1.20 ± 0.34 g) were exposed to six concentrations of ammonia ranged from 0.23 to 1.63 mg/L NH3-N and eight concentrations of nitrite (26.3–202.2 mg/L NO2 ?-N). The LC50- 24, LC50-48, LC50-72 and LC50-96 h were estimated to be 1.06, 0.83, 0.75 and 0.75 mg/L for NH3-N and 188.3, 151.01, 124.1 and 108.8 mg/L for NO2 ?-N. Analysis of gill lesions caused by sublethal concentrations of these nitrogenous compounds showed that both nitrogenous compounds induced tissue lesions such as hyperplasia of epithelium cells, hypertrophy of chloride cells and lamellar lifting to all concentrations tested. However, histopathological alterations were more conspicuous accordingly the increase of ammonia or nitrite in fish exposed to 0.57 mg/L NH3-N or 100 mg/L NO2 ?-N. Based on our results, we recommend to avoid concentrations higher than 0.57 mg/L of NH3-N and 25 mg/L of NO2-N in water.  相似文献

Static-renewal bioassays were performed to evaluate the acute toxicity of ammonia to Eriocheir sinensis (H. Milne-Edwards) at three growing stages, namely zoea-I, zoea-II, and juvenile (0.06 g wet weight per crab). The 24 h LC50 values were 13.3, 20.2, and 109.3 mg (NH3+ NH4+) 1?1 (0.47, 0.71, and 3.10 mg NH3 I?1), the 48 h LC50 values being 6.8, 10.3, and 60.9 mg (NH3+ NH4+) 1?1 (0.24, 0.36, and 1.73 mg NH31?1), while the 72 h LC50 values were 5.7, 7.6, and 45.3 mg (NH3+ NH4+) 1?1 (0.20, 0.27, and 1.29 mg NH3 1?1) for zoea-I, zoea-II, and juveniles, respectively. The 96 h LC50 value for juveniles was 31.6 mg (NH3+ NH4+) 1?1(0.90 mg NH31?1). It was evident that the tolerance to ammonia increased during the same exposure time as the larvae developed to juveniles and decreased with prolonged exposure time. Compared with larvae, juveniles were more sensitive to the fluctuation of ambient ammonia concentrations in the certain range within which partial kills took place. The ‘safe level’ of ammonia based on the 96 h LC50 value and an application factor of 0.1 was 3.16 mg (NH3+NH4+)1?1 (0.09 mg NH3 1?1) for juveniles and those for zoea-I and zoea-II were 0.57 and 0.76 mg (NH3+ NH4+) 1?1 (0.02 and 0.03 mg NH3 1?1) based on 72 h LC50 values.  相似文献

The survival of turbot, Scophthalmus maximus (L.), kept at high densities (0.5 kg 1?1 water) was studied when O2 was added by oxygenation, aeration, a combination of oxygenation and aeration, or by aeration with control of water pH by the addition of acid. Oxygen instead of air increased the LT50 (lethal time for 50% of the population) from 40 h to 130 h. Aeration in combination with acid addition further increased LT50 to 220 h. The results show that the transport time of live fish can be increased by reducing pH, either by raising carbon dioxide levels or by adding acid, probably because of reduced toxicity of total ammonia (NH3 and NH4+). In all groups, mortality was recorded at NH3 concentrations above 0.4 mg 1?1 NH3-N.  相似文献

Exposure to TEX‐OE®, a patented extract of the prickly pear cactus (Opuntia ficus indica) containing chaperone‐stimulating factor, was shown to protect common carp, Cyprinus carpio L., fingerlings against acute ammonia stress. Survival was enhanced twofold from 50% to 95% after exposure to 5.92 mg L?1 NH3, a level determined in the ammonia challenge bioassay as the 1‐h LD50 concentration for this species. Survival of TEX‐OE®‐pre‐exposed fish was enhanced by 20% over non‐exposed controls during lethal ammonia challenge (14.21 mg L?1 NH3). Increase in the levels of gill and muscle Hsp70 was evident in TEX‐OE®‐pre‐exposed fish but not in the unexposed controls, indicating that application of TEX‐OE® accelerated carp endogenous Hsp70 synthesis during ammonia perturbation. Protection against ammonia was correlated with Hsp70 accretion.  相似文献

This study examined ammonia, urea, creatinine, protein, nitrite, nitrate, and phosphorus (P) excretion at different water hardness, humic acid, or pH levels in silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen) juveniles. The fish were exposed to different levels of water hardness (4, 24, 50, or 100 mg L?1 CaCO3), humic acid (0, 2.5, or 5.0 mg L?1), or pH (5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, or 9.0) for 10 days. The overall measured nitrogen excretions were 88.1 % (244–423 μmol kg?1 h?1) for ammonia, 10.9 % (30–52 μmol kg?1 h?1) for creatinine, 0.02 % (0.05–0.08 μmol kg?1 h?1) for protein, 0.001 % (0.002–0.004 μmol kg?1 h?1) for urea, 0.5 % (0.64–3.6 μmol kg?1 h?1) for nitrite, and 0.5 % (0.0–6.9 μmol kg?1 h?1) for nitrate, and these proportions were not affected by water hardness or humic acid levels. The overall P excretion in R. quelen was 0.14–2.97 μmol kg?1 h?1. Ammonia excretion in R. quelen usually was significantly higher in the first 12 h after feeding, and no clear effect of water hardness, humic acid levels, and pH on this daily pattern of ammonia excretion could be observed. Water hardness only affected the ammonia and P excretion of R. quelen juveniles in the initial and fifth days after transfer, respectively. The exposure of this species to humic acid increased ammonia excretion after 10 days of exposure but did not affect P excretion. An increase in pH decreased ammonia and increased creatinine excretion but did not change P excretion in R. quelen. Therefore, when there is any change on humic acid levels or pH in the culture of this species, nitrogenous compounds must be monitored because their excretion rates are variable. On the other hand, P excretion rates determined in the present study are applicable to a wide range of fish culture conditions.  相似文献

The effects of total ammonia (TAN; NH4++ NH3) on the reproductive performance, survival, growth and moulting of wild Penaeus paulensis (Pérez-Farfante) broodstock were studied to determine optimal rearing conditions. Based on previously established ‘safe levels’ for P. paulensis adults (3.4 and 4.2 mg L?1 TAN), two 46-day trials were performed. In the first trial, six females and four males were stocked in 700-L tanks under three treatments (0.37, 2.53 and 6.86 mg L?1 TAN) with at least two replicates per treatment. In trial 2, ammonia levels of 0.68, 1.55 and 2.62 mg L?1 TAN were assigned to three 6000-L tanks, each stocked with 36 females and 24 males. Ammonia only influenced the survival of females and the growth of males exposed to 6.86 mg L?1 TAN (0.21 mg L?1 NH3). No further effects of ammonia on moulting and reproductive performance were detected. The present results demonstrate that up to 2.62 mg L?1 TAN, coupled with 0.07 mg L?1 NH3 and 1.50 mg L?1 NO2, will not impair reproductive performance of P. paulensis. It is suggested that water quality for the maturation of P. paulensis may be maintained through lower daily water exchange rates instead of the usual high levels (150-300%) employed on penaeid shrimp maturation systems.  相似文献

Ammonia removal and disinfection are two major problems in aquaculture systems, which require clean and reliable water to support long-term growth and health of target animals. In this study, we report electrochemical ammonia removal and disinfection of wastewater from an aquaculture farm (Mari’s Gardens) in Hawaii. First, we attempted to reproduce the work of Zollig and co-authors, who reported that direct ammonia oxidation can occur between 1 V and 1.6 V vs SHE on a graphite electrode in a solution (pH = 9.0) containing 1 M NaClO4, 0.25 M NH4ClO4, and 0.085 M NaCl. Our results, however, show that direct ammonia oxidation is unlikely to occur, at least at significant rates, on a graphite electrode in aqueous solutions (pH = 9.0) containing 0.7 M Na2SO4, 0.1 M (NH4)2SO4, and 0.02 M NaCl. We tentatively attribute this discrepancy to the different physico-chemical characteristics of graphite electrodes made by different manufacturers. Second, PtRu/graphite electrodes were prepared using a pulsed electrodeposition method, and electrode activity towards ammonia removal and disinfection was examined in both synthetic and real aquaculture wastewater using batch and flow reactors. The PtRu catalyst was partially oxidized at the beginning of electrolysis, and a significant increase in the electrode activity towards indirect ammonia oxidation was observed. Ammonia removal was slow when NaCl concentration was 0.66 mM, but the addition of NaCl (up to 20 mM) led to a drastic increase in the ammonia removal rate, indicating that ammonia removal proceeds via indirect oxidation. The ammonia removal rate depends primarily on NaCl concentration and current density and is independent of the initial ammonia concentration and solution pH. The ammonia removal rates can be modeled by pseudo zero-order kinetics, and a linear correlation can be drawn between the ammonia removal rate (k, mg L−1 min−1) and the product of NaCl concentration ([Cl-], mM) and current density (j, mA/cm2): k = 0.0047 [Cl-] j (R2 = 0.99). Free chlorine (Cl2, HOCl, and OCl-) was not detected in the solution until the complete removal of ammonia. Combined chlorine (NH2Cl, NHCl2, and NCl3) was measured at concentrations of 2–15 mg/L (as Cl2) during the ammonia removal process but was eliminated as soon as ammonia was depleted and an excess of free chlorine was available. Our detailed findings on the formation of both free chlorine and combined chlorine are significant to the mechanistic study of indirect ammonia oxidation. Ammonia removal experiments in synthetic and real aquaculture wastewater showed similar results. However, ammonia removal in the flow reactor took about three times longer than that in the batch reactor under similar conditions, likely due to hydrodynamic mixing differences. In addition, it was found that E. coli bacteria can be completely inactivated (5-log reduction) within a short time (e.g., 5 min).  相似文献

The daily pattern of ammonia nitrogen outputs of five weight groups of Siberian sturgeon, Acipenser baeri (Brandt), was studied. Regardless of weight, there was a delay of 3 h between the start of feeding and the increase in ammonia output. For sturgeon reared at 17°C with continuous feeding, the total ammonia output levels (NH4-N + NH3-N) decreased from 530 mg kg?1 per day for fish weighing 40 g, to 239 mg kg?1 per day for fish weighing 1700 g. The study showed that continuous feeding is suitable in sturgeon farms in terms of ammonia loadings.  相似文献

Argyrosomus regius (3.0 ± 0.9 g) were exposed to different concentrations of ammonia in a series of acute toxicity tests by the static renewal method at three temperature levels (18, 22 and 26°C) at a pH of 8.2. Low temperature clearly increased the tolerance of the fish to total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) and unionized ammonia (NH3) (P < 0.05). While the 96‐h LC50 values of TAN were 19.79, 10.39 and 5.06 mg L?1, the 96‐h LC50 of NH3 were 1.00, 0.70 and 0.44 mg L?1 at 18, 22 and 26°C respectively. The safe levels of NH3 for A. regius was estimated to be 0.10, 0.07 and 0.04 mg L?1 at 18, 22 and 26°C respectively (P < 0.05). This study clearly indicates that A. regius is more sensitive to ammonia than other marine fish species cultured on the Mediterranean and Eastern Atlantic coasts.  相似文献

The present study aimed to determine the effect of feeding time on growth and nitrogen excretion in juvenile sole. An 84‐day growth trial was conducted, in which food was supplied to three triplicate groups of juvenile Senegalese sole (3 g wet weight) at different schedules – diurnal, nocturnal and mixed. At the end of the growth trial, ammonia and urea excretion was assessed during a 24 h cycle. Improved growth (1.3% vs. 0.9% day?1, specific growth rate), higher nitrogen retention (0.35 vs. 0.27 g N kg?1 day?1), lower ammonia excretion (209 vs. 272 mg N‐NH4 kg?1 day?1) and lower total nitrogen excretion (278 vs. 352 mg N kg?1 day?1) were found in daytime‐fed fish compared with night‐fed fish. Fish in the mixed feeding regime showed intermediate values of ammonia and total nitrogen excretion, but did not differ from day‐fed fish regarding the other parameters. Results indicate that juvenile sole at a period of their life cycle appear to use more efficiently dietary protein for somatic growth under a diurnal than under a nocturnal feeding regime. This suggest that at least during a time‐window in the juvenile rearing a diurnal feeding regime might be more effective in the production of this species.  相似文献

During gradual air exposure, Amia calva show no reduction in oxygen consumption, no increase in plasma urea levels or in urea excretion. Blood pH remains constant, and plasma total CO2, PCO 2, HCO3 -. total ammonia and NH3 concentrations all rise significantly. Exposure to 923 μmol/l NH4Cl does not elicit an increase in urea production or airbreathing. Aquatic hypoxia without access to air does not cause a reduction in aerobic metabolism, and moderate levels result in death. These results suggest that Amia are incapable of aestivation, due to an inability to detoxify ammonia to urea and reduce metabolism, and die following three to five days of air exposure.  相似文献

It is yet unclear whether sub‐lethal ammonia‐N levels cause irreparable damage to aquatic crustaceans, or if recovery is possible, the potential factors involved. The aim was to investigate the effect of 0.706 and 2.798 mmol L?1 ammonia‐N exposure on the haemolymph osmolality, Na+, K+, Ca2+, pH, ammonia‐N, total haemocyte counts (THC) and gill histopathology of Portunus pelagicus juveniles at 0, 3, 6, 12, 24 and 48 h respectively. Following 48 h, crabs were transferred to pristine seawater allowing a recovery period up to 96 h and similarly measured. In addition moribund crabs, induced from lethal ammonia‐N levels of 7.036 and 10.518 mmol L?1, were measured for haemolymph osmolality/ions and pH levels. The results demonstrate that despite severe gill damage within 6‐ and 1 h of 0.706 and 2.798 mmol L?1 ammonia‐N exposure, respectively, no significant change (P>0.05) in the haemolymph osmolality, Na+, K+, Ca2+ or pH levels occurred or by ammonia‐N‐induced morbidity. Although the gills can completely recover within 24 and 48 h post exposure to 0.706 and 2.798 mmol L?1 ammonia‐N, respectively, likely facilitated by significant haemocyte increases (P<0.05) within the haemolymph and gill lamellae, dependent factors were the previous ammonia‐N concentration and recovery duration while individual variability was also noticed.  相似文献

The growth of juvenile channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) was reduced in a linear manner during a 31 day growth trial when exposed to concentrations of ammcnia ranging from 48 to 989 μg/l NH3N (0.31 to 5.71 mg/l NH+4N). On a wet weight basis, growth was reduced by 50% at 517 μg/l NH3N and the no growth occured at 967 μg/l. The no growth level was 60% of 96-h LC50 value. Mortality was increased significantly at 989 μg/l NH3N and above. The sublethal effects of ammonia may depend, in part, on the concentrations of NH4+ and and Na+ in solution.  相似文献

Optimal water quality is considered as being a restriction for marine copepod cultures for live feed. There is a lack of knowledge on the water‐quality conditions in copepod cultures and the effect on copepods. Few studies have investigated the effect of ammonia on copepods, and fewer reports No Observed Effect Concentrations (NOEC) and Lowest Observed Effect Concentrations (LOEC), which provides safety levels before cultures are affected. This study investigates the tolerance of Acartia tonsa nauplii and adults to ammonia, using mortality as the endpoint after 24, 48 and 72 h of exposure. Nauplii were exposed to levels from 0 to 5127 μg NH3 L?1 and adults to levels from 0 to 8481 μg NH3 L?1. Nauplii NOEC was 30 μg NH3 L?1 and LOEC was 81 μg NH3 L?1. Adult NOEC was 477 μg NH3 L?1 and LOEC was 1789 μg NH3 L?1. 50% Lethal Concentrations (LC50) for nauplii of 48 and 72 h was 1257 and 220 μg NH3 L?1. LC50 for adults was 2370 (24 h), 972 (48 h) and 770 (72 h). Combining NOEC with excretion rates of NH4/NH3 a model was developed to calculate densities in batch cultures. We recommend that for batch cultures of A. tonsa, NH3 is kept below NOEC for nauplii and that levels of NH3 together with pH are monitored weekly.  相似文献
