“…Nuclear hypertrophy indicates an increase in cell activity and detoxification signals in the liver, whereas karyolysis and indistinct cellular outlines suggest the beginning of necrosis (Barja‐Fernández, Míguez, & Álvarez‐Otero, ; Takashima & Hibiya, ; Velmurugan et al., ). In this study, as the exposure time increased, the histopathological changes in the liver of fish revealed a degenerative necrotic condition and degenerative changes (hepatocellular vacuolation and necrosis) induced by ammonia exposure at 24 hr, as found in Nile tilapia (Benli et al., ; Elsherif & Elfeky, ; Ravindrababu & Neeraja, ) and three cyprinid fish (Wang et al., ) exposed to ammonia‐N. Large fields of nuclear hypertrophy were observed in the liver, indicating that the liver of juvenile blunt snout bream could not fully recover after 96 hr post‐exposure.…”

“…In this study, blunt snout bream exposure to 25 mg/L ammonia‐N did not affect fish survival, which indicates that blunt snout bream have strong tolerance to ammonia‐N. The different tolerance to ammonia‐N for fish are probably attributed to the fish species and size, experimental conditions (pH, natural aquatic ecosystems or laboratory conditions) and ammonia‐N metabolism pathway (Miron et al., ; Wang & Walsh, ; Wang et al., ).…”

“…To other fish species such as P. biaculeatus (0.34 ± 0.01 g) (Rodrigues et al., ), the 96 hr LC 50 of UIAN was 0.89 mg/L, whereas to bighead carp ( Aristichthys nobilis Richardson ), silver carp ( Hypophthalmichthys molitrix Val.) and gibel carp ( Carassius auratus gibelio Bloch), it was determined to be 0.35, 0.33 and 0.73 mg/L (Wang et al., ) respectively. However, Zhang, Sun, et al.…”

In this study, we investigated the toxic effects of ammonia-N on the plasma and haematological parameters and histological structure of blunt snout bream (Megalobrama amblycephala) juveniles. The fish (initial weight, 14.79 AE 0.01 g) were randomly sorted into six tanks (200 L), and each tank was stocked with 40 fish for culture. The juveniles were exposed to two ammonia-N levels-0 mg/L (control group) and 25 mg/L (experimental group)-and sampled at 0, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hr, and then they underwent 96 hr of post-exposure recovery. The results showed that ammonia-N had significant effects on the plasma and haematological parameters. The treatment group showed increased cortisol, plasma ammonia and haematocrit levels and white blood cell count with increasing exposure time, up to 24 hr, and then the levels and count decreased. A significantly higher plasma glucose level was observed in the treatment group at 12 hr. After 96 hr of post-exposure recovery, all parameter levels decreased to the control levels. The fish displayed histopathological alterations in the gills, liver and kidney. The results indicate that the severity of the lesions clearly differed among the organs, with the liver showing the most extensive damage, followed by the gills and kidney. Adverse effects to physiological indicators and histological structure increased with increasing exposure time before 24 hr. The fish showed self-regulation; however, the histological structure could not recover fully, the gill tissue showed irreversible changes and the kidney tissue exhibited the worst recovery ability.

“…This pollutant is originated from the protein-rich feed, which eventually lead to the excretion of NH 3 –N from protein metabolism. Excessive NH 3 –N results in various growth problems for both fish and shrimp that adversely affect the production [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ]. NH 3 –N can be converted into more toxic nitrogen nitrate NO 3 –N by microbes, worsening its effect on fish [ 6 ].…”

This research offers a novel approach of free chemical preparation to obtain algae-based biopolyol through a ball milling method. The algae-based polyurethane (AlgPU) film was obtained from a casting solution made of ball-milled algal polyol particle and methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI). The characteristics of the material had been investigated using Fourier Transform Infrared, Scanning Electron Microscopy – Electron Dispersive Spectroscopy, Differential Scanning Calorimetry, and Tensile Strength Analysis. The surface area was determined by Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) isotherm, meanwhile the total pore volume was by Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) isotherm, based on the adsorption-desorption of N 2 . The addition of activated carbon contributed in the increase of functional group and surface area, which were important for the NH 3 –N removal. As a result, the adsorption capacity increased greatly after the addition of activated carbon (from 187.84 to 393.43 μg/g). The results also suggested AlgPU as a good matrix for immobilizing activated carbon filler. The adsorption shows a better fit with Langmuir isotherm model, with R 2 = 0.97487 and root-mean-square error (RMSE) = 33.91952, compared to Freundlich isotherm model (R 2 = 0.96477 and RMSE = 44.05388). This means the NH 3 –N adsorption followed the assumption of homogenous and monolayer adsorption, in which the maximum adsorption was found to be 797.95 μg/g. This research suggests the potential of newly developed material for NH 3 –N removal.

“…A large difference in the "intrinsic toxicity" (α) of receptor-ligand complexes between species suggests the influence of sub-acute effects on the overall dynamics of Cypris pibera mortality. A common feature of the action of ammonium ions on the tested hydrobiones is the short initial time of the effect, which may be related to the general mechanism of interaction of NH 4 + ions in aquatic organisms which compete with K + ions during membrane transport (both ions have the same ionic radius) and as a result change in the polarization of membranes and the induction of pH changes within the cytoplasm of respiratory tissue cells [23].…”

Determining the value of a half-effective or half-life concentration or dose of toxicant is the main purpose of acute toxicity studies, and this is also the most commonly used value in the toxicity characteristics of substances. By conducting tests that meet the criteria and requirements for the determination of acute toxicity, due to the use of appropriate mathematical tools and concentrations resulting in complete lethal effects in the studied groups, considerably more important values can be achieved, which give a possibility for the analysis of the entire process’s dynamics, as well as determining the threshold values of the effect time and toxicant concentration. This was the purpose of our research, in which the research species were Daphnia magna and Cypris pubera. The effect of the conducted research allowed to determine and compare the two toxicants: ammonium and copper(II) ions by it’s: concentration limit values (Cth), internal toxicity of the receptor-ligand complex (α), apparent, constant disintegration of this complex (Kapp) and different time values of the effect (Tt, Tin, MLT), which, along with concentration, is equally important determinant of the development of a toxic effect.
