NTPDase and acetylcholinesterase activities in silver catfish, Rhamdia quelen (Quoy & Gaimard, 1824) (Heptapteridae) exposed to interaction of oxygen and ammonia levels

Abstract: The effects of various levels of oxygen saturation and ammonia concentration on NTPDase (ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase, E.C. 3.6.1.5) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE, E.C. 3.1.1.7) activities in whole brain of teleost fish (Rhamdia quelen) were investigated. The fish were exposed to one of two different dissolved oxygen levels, including high oxygen (6.5 mg.L -1 ) or low oxygen (3.5 mg.L -1 ), and one of two different ammonia levels, including high ammonia (0.1 mg.L -1 ) or low ammonia (0.03 m… Show more

“…For example, in addition to causing a reduction in the microbial removal of ammonia, it has been shown that hypoxia has a direct negative effect on ammonia tolerance, i.e. ammonia levels that are non-toxic in normoxia may become toxic under hypoxic conditions (Merkens & Downing, 1957;Thurston et al, 1981;Wajsbrot et al, 1991;Foss et al, 2003a;Kaizer et al, 2009). Similarly, hypoxia increases nitrite uptake in goldfish Carassius auratus (L.1758) (Jensen & Hansen, 2011).…”
