Toxicity of Ammonia to Red Drum Sciaenops ocellatus Fingerlings with Information on Uptake and Depuration 1
Abstract Median lethal concentrations of un‐ionized ammonia‐nitrogen to red drum ( Sciuenops ocellarus ) were 0.9 ± 0.14 mg/L (mean ± SE) after 24 h and 0.8 ± 0.16 mg/L after 48 h (salinity = 4.0%, temperature = 20 C, pH = 6.8–7.1). Ammonia moved quickly from the environment into the plasma with 90%...
