Abstract

The article discusses the elevated rearing densities necessary for profitable aquaculture operations are generally related to declining water quality, which may affect fish welfare and juvenile quality. The motivation for this research was to provide information on the potential effects of chronic exposure to ammonia on juvenile Atlantic cod raised in recirculating aquaculture systems since ammonia build up is frequently reported in such systems. Ammonia can significantly reduce growth, and can adversely affect different organs and functions.
