Various effects of feeding level on ammonia tolerance in Carassius auratus under different ammonia exposure stress and the underlying mechanisms.

Elevated ammonia levels in aquaculture systems could reduce fish growth and survival rates and produce a range of physiological problems. Ammonia toxicity in aquatic environments was regulated by various factors. Feeding was usually reported to help in the detoxification of fish, thereby increasing their capacity to tolerate ammonia nitrogen.

Benthic primary production decreases internal phosphorus loading from lake sediments under light supplement.

In aquatic ecosystems, light penetrating the sediment surface in shallow lakes may regulate the internal phosphorus (P) release through benthic primary production, which subsequently affects oxidation, pH levels, and alkaline phosphatase activity in the upper sediment. To study the effects of light exposure on the P dynamics at the sediment-water interface under eutrophic conditions, a two-month mesocosm experiment was conducted in twelve cement tanks (1000 L each). The tanks were equipped with Light-Emitting Diode (LED) lights, and surface sediments collected from eutrophic Lake Nanhu (China) were exposed to four different light intensities (0, 50, 100, 200 μmol m s).

Benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages in relation to high ammonia loading: A 5-year fertilization experiment in 5 subtropical ponds.

Nitrogen pollution, especially ammonia, and its impacts on aquatic ecosystems are always hot topics worldwide. Evaluating the toxicity effect of ammonia on aquatic organisms is the essential basis for nitrogen management. Benthic macroinvertebrates are widely used to evaluate ammonia toxicity based on acute and chronic lab tests.

Decreasing toxicity of un-ionized ammonia on the gastropod Bellamya aeruginosa when moving from laboratory to field scale.

Along with a steady increasing use of artificial nitrogen fertilizer, concerns have been raised about the effects that high nitrogen loading may have on ecosystems. Due to the toxicity of unionized ammonia (NH), tolerance criteria have been proposed for ambient water management in many countries; however, these are mainly based on acute or chronic tests carried out under lab conditions run with purified water. Aiming at understanding the responses of organisms to natural exposure to high ammonia concentrations, a Viviparidae gastropod, Bellamya aeruginosa, was tested at three experimental scales: standard 96-h lab test, one-month cage test in 6 experimental ponds with continuous nitrogen inputs, and intensive investigation of the B.

Assessing the exploitation status of main catfish based on length based stock assessment models in the Kaptai Lake from Bangladesh.

The current study focuses on the detailed data on stock assessments including population structure, growth parameters, mortality, recruitment pattern, exploitation rate (, maximum sustainable yield (MSY) and relative yield per-recruit of (Hamilton, 1822) based on 2512 specimens through regular monthly sampling using gill net, cast net, and square lift net in the Kaptai Lake, located in the hilly region of Bangladesh during January to December 2017. Total length (TL) and body weight (BW) were measured using digital slide calipers and electronic balance with 0.01 cm and 0.
