Ammonia excretion at different life stages of silver catfish

Abstract: ABSTRACT. This study examined ammonia excretion at different life stages (eggs, larvae and juveniles) in silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen) and determined the influence of fasting time on ammonia excretion. Eggs and larvae were collected from incubators at different times after fecundation and placed in chambers. Juveniles were separated into two weight classes (2-50 g and 150-320 g) and placed in individual chambers after feeding. Water was collected from each chamber to determine ammonia excretion. Ammonia excr… Show more

“…However, the high rate of oxygen uptake in this species after feeding suggests an increase in anabolism from the earliest hours, along with the use of protein (probably endogenous) as an energy fuel. Apart from one work with a catfish (Garcia et al, 2012), no other study, as far as we know, shows an inverse relationship between excretion of nitrogen per gram and the development stages of the fish, even after a meal. This high rates of nitrogen excretion in matrinxã, even under basal conditions, suggest a high protein turnover, which is the continuous protein synthesis and degradation (see review by Houlihan et al, 1995), and would depend strongly on a high basal metabolic rate, as is the case of matrinxã.…”

“…The equation generated from the multiple regression estimates the ammonia excretion rate of piaussu as a function of temperature and feed intake. However, ammonia excretion may be affected by other factors other than temperature and feeding, such as the size of the fish (LEUNG et al, 1999), life stage (GARCIA et al, 2012), stocking density (LIU et al, 2009), pH (SCOTT et al, 2005) and environmental ammonia concentration (ZIMMER et al, 2010). Future studies should be conducted taking into consideration the influence of other variables over the excretion rates of piaussu, to further improve the rearing of this species.…”

“…Após 24 horas, não houve diferenças na excreção de amônia das tilápias de acordo com a dieta que receberam. Garcia et al (2012) avaliando a excreção de amônia em jundiás em diferentes estágios de vida (ovos, larvas e juvenis), constataram que ovos e larvas excretam menos amônia quando comparadas a juvenis, a excreção de amônia nos juvenis diminui gradativamente após 12h de jejum, mas após alimentação estes peixes apresentam altos níveis de excreção. No presente ensaio foram observados picos de excreção de amônia 2h, 4h e 8h após a alimentação, nas dietas com adição enzimas digestivas.…”

“…Urbinati e Carneiro (2004) destacam que a concentração de glicose sanguínea também está diretamente relacionada as respostas fisiológicas de uma série de agentes estressores, como variações de temperatura, o manejo empregado e o transporte da mesma. Já a excreção de amônia está diretamente relacionada com tipo de dieta consumida pelos peixes (LAM et al, 2008), disponibilidade de alimento (MALTEZ et al, 2016), peso, estágio de desenvolvimento (GARCIA et al, 2012) e quantidade ou disponibilidade da proteína presente na dieta. As proteínas presentes na ração são, em sua maioria, absorvidas pelos peixes como aminoácidos e a maioria dos compostos nitrogenados provenientes da digestão e absorção de proteínas são excretados na forma de amônia pelas brânquias, fezes e urina da maioria dos peixes (BALDISSEROTTO, 2009).…”
