“…The effects of the 24, 48, 72, and 96 h exposures to various concentrations of NO at a salinity of 20, and 0.31 mg L −1 at a salinity of 5, respectively. These values are similar to those reported by Weirich and Riche [40] in a study of the acute toxicity of UIAN to juvenile black sea bass (Centropristis striata) (mean weight 9.9 g), in which the 96-h LC 50 values ranged from 0.46 to 0.54 mg L −1…”

This study was conducted to evaluate the acute toxicity of ammonia and nitrite to three developmental stages of Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) larvae (11, 22, and 35 days after hatching, with mean total lengths of 4.63 ± 0.14, 5.83 ± 0.17, and 7.46 ± 0.23 mm, respectively). The results showed for the first time that the acute toxicity of ammonia and nitrite is closely related to the age of Pacific cod larvae, and the acute toxicity of ammonia or nitrite increased with increased Pacific cod larval growth. Lethal concentrations (LC 50 ) of un-ionized ammonia nitrogen (UIAN) for a 48-h exposure in 11-day post-hatch, 22-day post-hatch, and 35-day posthatch Pacific cod larvae were 1.72, 0.69, and 0.32 mg L , respectively. The present findings demonstrate that the acute toxicity of ammonia for Pacific cod larvae is much higher than that of nitrite.

“…Ammonia is acutely toxic for marine fish in the range of 0.54 mg L -1 for black sea bass Centropristis striata (WEIRICH and RICHE, 2006b) and at 2.93 mg L -1 of NH3-N for threespine stickleback Gasterosteus aculeatus (HAZEL et al, 1971), the most tolerant known species. At concentrations lower than lethal concentrations, ammonia can have so-called "sub-lethal" effects, such as reduced growth, poor feed conversion and reduced disease resistance.…”

Toxicidade aguda da amônia em juvenis de sardinha-verdadeira Sardinella brasiliensis

The Brazilian sardine (Sardinella brasiliensis) is the main fishery resource in Brazil which holds directly the canning industry, as raw material, and indirectly the tuna fishing because juveniles are used as live bait. The UFSC through Live-Bait Project is developing production techniques of Brazilian sardine in captive aimed at the sustainable use of the resource, however there is no information about the toxicity of nitrogenous compounds in the culture of this species. This study was conducted to estimate the acute toxicity of ammonia (NH3-N) on the juvenile Brazilian sardine. Groups of five fish (1.04 ± 0.20 g) were exposed to five concentrations of NH3-N (0.60 to 1.47 mg L -1 ) for 96 h plus control group in three replicates. Tests were run using a standard semi-static system with 100% daily renewal of water and toxicants. The results were based on mortality data registered for the different concentrations tested, using the software Trimmed Spearman Karber method. The median lethal concentration (LC50) after 96 h of exposure to NH3-N was estimated at 0.74 (0.61-0.90) mg L -1 . The results indicates that the juvenile Brazilian sardine is relatively sensitive to ammonia compared to other marine fish and particular attention must be given to this compound in culture systems.Key words: ammonia; LC50; toxicity; marine fish; Brazilian sardine TOXICIDADE AGUDA DA AMÔNIA EM JUVENIS DE SARDINHA-VERDADEIRA Sardinella brasiliensis ABSTRACT A sardinha-verdadeira (Sardinella brasiliensis) é o principal recurso pesqueiro do Brasil que sustenta diretamente a indústria de enlatados, como matéria prima, e indiretamente a pesca dos tunídeos, pois juvenis são utilizados como isca-viva. A UFSC através do Projeto Isca-Viva vem desenvolvendo técnicas de produção de sardinha-verdadeira em cativeiro com vistas ao uso sustentável do recurso, entretanto não existem informações sobre a toxicidade dos compostos nitrogenados no cultivo desta espécie. O objetivo deste estudo foi de estimar a toxicidade aguda de amônia (NH3-N) em juvenis de sardinha-verdadeira. Grupo de cinco peixes (1,04 ± 0,20 g) foram expostos a cinco concentrações de NH3-N (0,60 a 1,47 mg L -1 ) durante 96 h mais um grupo controle em triplicata. Os testes foram conduzidos em um sistema semi-estático com renovação diária total dos meios experimentais. Os resultados foram apresentados como dados de mortalidade, registrados nas diferentes concentrações testadas, utilizando o software Trimmed Spearman Karber Method. A concentração letal (LC50) após 96 h de exposição a NH3-N foi estimada em 0,74 (0,61-0,90) mg L -1 . Os resultados indicam que juvenis de sardinha-verdadeira são relativamente sensíveis à amônia em relação a outros peixes marinhos e atenção especial deve ser dada a este composto em sistemas de cultivo.

“…Nitrites are considered to be toxic to fish after acute (Pištěková et al 2005;Weirich and Riche 2006;Park et al 2007;Rodrigues et al 2007;Costa et al 2008;Ozcan et al 2010) as well as chronic exposure (Siikavuopio and Saether 2006;Kroupová et al 2008;Voslářová et al 2008;Kroupová et al 2010). The toxicity of nitrites for fish differs in dependence of many internal and external factors such as water quality, fish species, their size and individual sensitivity (Lewis and Morris 1986;Jensen 2003;Voslářová et al 2006).…”

“…The most important factor influencing nitrite toxicity is the concentration of chloride ions in water. Many authors proved in their studies the protective impact of chloride ions against intoxication of nitrites (Crawford and Allen 1977;Lewis and Morris 1986;Pištěková et al 2005;Voslářová et al 2006;Wang et al 2006;Weirich and Riche 2006).…”

Nitrite toxicity assessment in Danio rerio and Poecilia reticulata

et al. 2011

Nitrite is a natural component of the nitrogen cycle in the environment. Although it usually occurs in low concentrations, elevated concentrations caused by effluents or affected nitrification process can lead to serious health deterioration of fish. Two aquarium fish zebrafish (Danio rerio) and guppy (Poecilia reticulata) are recommended to use as model organisms in toxicity tests. However, their sensitivity to nitrite can differ. The aim of this study was to define acute toxicity of nitrite by the semistatic method according to OECD No. 203 (Fish, Acute toxicity test). The series of 4 acute toxicity tests was performed, with 10 fish of both species used for each concentration and for the control. The 96hLC50 NO 2 -value for D. rerio and P. reticulata was 242.55 ± 15.79 mg·l -1 and 30.2 ± 8.74 mg·l -1 , respectively. We have proved significant difference (p < 0.05) in sensitivity between D. rerio and P. reticulata. The results showed different sensitivities to nitrites in tested fish species, which could be related to species-specific branchial chloride uptake mechanism. This is the first study on this fish species. Acute toxicity, NO 2 -
