“…The few reports of temperature effects on N excretion in marine fish (Table 3) suggest that N loss increases with temperature (Gu6rin- Ancey, 1976a;Jobling, 1981), similar to the responses of freshwater fish (Savitz, 1969;Forsberg and Summerfelt, 1992). The rate of N excretion also appears to depend on the thermal range of the fish.…”

“…Temperature effects on ammonia excretion rates were shown in bluegill Lepomis macrochirus (Savitz 1969), common carp Cyprinus carpio (Ogino et al 1973), plaice Pleuronectes platessa (Jobling 1981), and fingerling walleye Sander vitreus (formerly Stizostedion vitreum) (Cai and Summerfelt 1992;Forsberg and Summerfelt 1992a). Studies by Speece (1973) indicated that metabolite production by rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss is a function of length and temperature and noted that smaller fish size and higher temperatures resulted in higher metabolite production rates.…”

The golden shiner Notemigonus crysoleucas is the major species of baitfish raised and sold in the United States. They are shipped in trucks from large farms to distributors up to 2,500 km distant. The costs associated with shipping could be greatly reduced if truck loading were increased, but higher densities of fish elevate ammonia concentrations to detrimental levels. In our work, we have simulated live hauling conditions to measure the ammonia excretion rates of golden shiners at 15, 20, and 25°C. The experiments were conducted for 24 h in three recirculating systems after fingerling golden shiners were fasted and acclimated for 2 d. The experiment was repeated four times using different lots and sizes of golden shiners. The results indicated that there were no significant differences in the hourly ammonia excretion rates (HER) between two lots of same‐size golden shiners. The hourly ammonia excretion rates were inversely proportional to fish weight and increased with temperature. The average HER for all sizes of fish ranged from 2.9 to 7.4 g NH3‐N/kg fish/h at 15°C, 5.2–11.2 g NH3‐N/kg fish/h at 20°C, and 6.2–15.0 g NH3‐N/kg fish/h at 25°C. The results of this study will be used to design ammonia control systems to safely increase fish density on commercial fish hauling trucks.

“…Excretion rates of both N and P increased in summer, which might be induced by the following two mechanisms. First, the increased metabolic demands in response to the elevated temperature were partially met by means of deamination of amino acids and catabolism of phospholipids (Forsberg & Summerfelt 1992). Jobling (1981) reported that ex cre tion rates of young plaice (Pleuronectes platessa L.) increased with increasing temperature.…”

Fish farming activities have resulted in increasing nutrient pollution and subsequent deterioration of water quality in aquatic environments worldwide. Silver carp Hypophthalm ichthys molitrix can efficiently remove excessive nutrient pollution by filtering the suspended particulate organic matter. To evaluate the feasibility and capacity of using silver carp as biofilters to remove the wastes released from the farming of grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella, 3 mesocosms comprising grass carp and silver carp were developed. Carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) budgets of silver carp were measured every month from May to October in 2011. Owing to the changes in exogenous environmental conditions and autogenous physiological status such as water temperature, dissolved oxygen level and feeding behavior, the metabolic acquisition and expenditure of silver carp exhibited obvious temporal fluctuation. For a standardized silver carp with 30 cm body length, the average scope for growth of C, N and P were 54.83, 8.73 and 0.85 mg h −1 , respectively. Total nutrient assimilation capacities throughout the experimental period for C, N and P were 236.86, 37.70 and 3.67 g, respectively. Our findings show that silver carp with the coculture of grass carp provides an eco nomic and environmental win−win resolution to enhance aquaculture production and reduce organic pollution in water.
