Ammonia toxicity, tolerance, and excretion
TL;DR: Present ammonia criteria may fail to protect migrating fish and may be inappropriate for fish fed on a regular basis, according to the present ammonia criteria promulgated in the EPA (1989) saltwater document.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ammonia production, excretion, toxicity, and defense in fish: a review.
Yuen K. Ip,Shit F. Chew +1 more
TL;DR: This review focuses on both the earlier literature and the up-to-date information on the problems and mechanisms concerning the permeation of ammonia across mitochondrial membranes, the blood–brain barrier, the plasmalemma of neurons, and the branchial and cutaneous epithelia of fish.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunolocalization of ion-transport proteins to branchial epithelium mitochondria-rich cells in the mudskipper (Periophthalmodon schlosseri)
TL;DR: A proportion of the ammonia eliminated by P. schlosseri involves carbonic anhydrase activity and is not dependent on boundary-layer pH effects, and the apical CFTR-like anion channel may be serving as a HCO(3)(-) channel accounting for the acid-base neutral effects observed with net ammonia efflux inhibition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptations of amphibious fish for surviving life out of water
TL;DR: There are a small number of fish species, both marine and freshwater, that exhibit a truly amphibious habit that includes periods of aerial exposure and the more amphibious fish are more adapted to moving on land and seeing in air.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review and comparison of models for predicting dynamic chemical bioconcentration in fish.
TL;DR: Ten of the most widely cited fish bioconcentration models are compared with respect to their ability to predict observed uptake and elimination rates using a common database for those model parameters that they have in common.
