Plasma ammonia and urea levels in Atlantic salmon farmed in sea water

Plasma ammonia and urea levels were measured in feeding Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. reared in two different commercial Norwegian sea farms. A very large individual variation of the plasma ammonia and urea levels in addition to the large influence of several factors suggest that it may be difficul...

Description
Summary:Plasma ammonia and urea levels were measured in feeding Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. reared in two different commercial Norwegian sea farms. A very large individual variation of the plasma ammonia and urea levels in addition to the large influence of several factors suggest that it may be difficult to use these parameters in diagnostic work on fish.
