Influence of High Temperature and Ammonia and Nitrite Accumulation on the Physiological, Structural, and Genetic Aspects of the Biology of Largemouth Bass (<i>Micropterus salmoides</i>).

ABSTRACT: Hyperthermia and nitrogenous pollutants like ammonia and nitrite are common risk factors that adversely affect fish health and pose significant threats to the aquaculture industry. However, the impacts of high temperatures on the accumulation of nitrogenous pollutants in the water of the aquaculture systems and their toxicity to farmed fish are not well understood. In this study, juvenile largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides, LMB) were kept at 28 °C and 34 °C in a closed aquatic system to investigate the effects of higher temperatures on ammonia and nitrite accumulation. The fish were fed 2% of their body weight daily for a 14-day experiment. Ammonia levels gradually increased, peaking on day 7 at 34 °C and on day 9 at 28 °C, then decreased to near zero. Nitrite levels remained lo
