Plasma Chemistries of Nitrite Stressed Atlantic Salmon Salmo salar
Abstract Plasma chemistries were measured in Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) exposed to elevated nitrite concentrations in an attempt to identify those parameters of potential value as early predictors of nitrite stress in a water‐reuse system.

Summary: | Abstract Plasma chemistries were measured in Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) exposed to elevated nitrite concentrations in an attempt to identify those parameters of potential value as early predictors of nitrite stress in a water‐reuse system. The most notable finding was a decrease in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity with increasing time of exposure to elevated nitrite concentrations. Chloride was found to have a protective effect against nitrite toxicity as indicated by higher ALP activities and lower percent methemoglobin in fish exposed to elevated nitrite concentrations at the higher of two chloride concentrations. |
