A Review on the Use of Microalgae for Sustainable Aquaculture (2019, background): “Common forms of nitrogen in wastewater include ammonium (NH4–N), nitrate (NO3−–N), and nitrite (NO2−–N) [26,33].”
Fish Welfare in Aquaponic Systems : Its Relation to Water Quality with an Emphasis on Feed and Faeces : A Review (2017, background): “Randall and Tsui [11] reported that acute ammonia toxicity affects the central nervous system of fish and manifests as a neurological disorder.”
Ammonia in estuaries and effects on fish (2005, methodology): “This will not protect swimming salmonid fish and much lower levels of ammonia in the water will impair swimming performance (Randall & Tsui, 2002).”
Removal of ammonium from aqueous solutions using zeolite synthesized from fly ash by a fusion method (2011, background): “Increased accumulation of ammonium not only leads to eutrophication in lakes, ponds, and reservoirs, but also increases the oxygen demand and exposes toxicity to aquatic life [2–4].”
The biological requirements for post-smolt Atlantic salmon in closed-containment systems (2011, background): “The mechanism of ammonia toxicity has recently been reviewed (Randall and Tsui, 2002; McKenzie et al., 2003; Randall and Ip, 2006).”
A systematic literature review of the major factors causing yield gap by affecting growth, feed conversion ratio and survival in Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) (2020, background): “However, unionized ammonia, which is toxic to fish, increases with increasing pH and water temperature (Randall & Tsui 2002).”
Embracing variability in amino acid δ15N fractionation: mechanisms, implications, and applications for trophic ecology (2016, background): “Ammonia is highly toxic and must be rapidly removed, either by direct excretion or by conversion to less toxic end products, such as urea or uric acid (randall and Tsui 2002).”
A Guide to Using Compound-Specific Stable Isotope Analysis to Study the Fates of Molecules in Organisms and Ecosystems (2019, background): “In addition, consumers that excrete nitrogen as ammonia rather than as urea or uric acid have higher Δ15NC-D values [74], possibly because the relatively greater toxicity of ammonia requires this molecule to be excreted rapidly, which can cause substantial fractionation [37,75].”
