Acute and postexposure effects of ammonia toxicity on juvenile barramundi (Lates calcarifer [Bloch]).

چکیده
Lethal and sublethal effects of ammonia toxicity to juvenile barramundi (Lates calcarifer) were investigated under laboratory conditions following the OECD guidelines for testing of chemicals. Acute toxicity was tested in a static nonrenewal system at pH 9.0 and temperature around 29 degrees C. The 24-, 48-, and 96-h LC(50) values for barramundi were 3.89, 3.67, and 3.31 mg total ammonia N L(-1) and 1.59, 1.47, and 1.3 mg nonionized ammonia N L(-1), respectively. Estimated lethal concentrations indicated a relatively high sensitivity to acute ammonia toxicity for barramundi and equaled the 25th percentile most sensitive North American fish species with regard to the species mean acute value (USEPA 1999). A 3-week postexposure experiment on surviving individuals from the acute toxicity test, in clean water, indicated that exposure to acute concentrations up to 1.16 mg nonionized ammonia N L(-1) did not have any significant effects on growth.

Different modified atmosphere conditions with various CO2 concentrations on microbial load (psychrophile, mesophile aerobic and anaerobic bacteria) and physico-chemical properties of barramundi (Lates calcarifer Bloch) fillets stored at 8°C were compared to determine the best packaging conditions. The gas conditions evaluated were 100% CO2 (M1), 75% CO2/25% N2 (M2), 50% CO2/50% N2 (M3), 25% CO...

Effect of High Water Temperatures on the Utilisation Efficiencies of Energy and Protein by Juvenile Barramundi, Lates calcarifer
This study was undertaken to define the effects of temperature on the energy and protein partial utilisation efficiencies of juvenile Barramundi. The experiment used a factorial design with four temperatures (25oC, 29oC, 32oC, and 36oC) and three ration levels (low, moderate, satiety) to examine the response of Barramundi to varying digestible energy (DE) and digestible protein (DP) intake.
