Postprandial ammonia excretion and oxygen consumption in olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus fed two different feed types, moist pellet (MP) and expanded pellet (EP) diets, to satiation were determined at $12^{\circ}C$, $15^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$, and $25^{\circ}C$ for 48 h. The ammonia excretion and oxygen consumption rates increased with increasing water temperature. However, the postprandial times for the maximum rates of ammonia excretion and oxygen consumption were shortened from 12 h to 6 h after feeding with increasing water temperature. The ammonia excretion and oxygen consumption rates of the fish fed EP were significantly higher (P < 0.05) than those fed MP at 12 h post-feeding both for $12^{\circ}C$ and $15^{\circ}C$. The highest (P < 0.05) weight-specific ammonia excretion rates at $12^{\circ}C$ were observed in the fish fed EP and MP at $12.1mg\;NH_3-N\;kg^{-1}h^{-1}$ and $8.7mg\;NH_3-N\;kg^{-1}h^{-1}$, respectively, for 12 h and 9 h after feeding. The highest (P < 0.05) weight-specific oxygen consumption rates at $12^{\circ}C$ were observed in fish fed EP and MP at $116.4mg\;kg^{-1}h^{-1}$ and $101.0mg\;kg^{-1}h^{-1}$, respectively, for 12 h after feeding. The highest ammonia excretion rates at $25^{\circ}C$ in the fish fed EP and MP increased to $16.9mg\;NH_3-N\;kg^{-1}h^{-1}$ and $18.3mg\;NH_3-N\;kg^{-1}h^{-1}$, respectively, for 6 h after feeding. The highest (P < 0.05) weight-specific oxygen consumption rates at $25^{\circ}C$ were observed in fish fed EP and MP at $184.3mg\;O_2kg^{-1}h^{-1}$ and $197.3mg\;O_2kg^{-1}h^{-1}$, respectively. These data are valuable for the design of biofilters and development of effluent treatment technologies for the land-based flounder farms.

Physiological responses (oxygen consumption, ammonia excretion, hemoglobin, red blood cell and white blood cell) of cultured eel, Anguilla japonica to vibration stress were studied in an indoor experimental system. Vibration of 76-93 dB (V) from an electric vibrator was provided in 15-minute intervals during daytime (0800-1800) over a ten day period. Oxygen consumption before the beginning of the experiment (0 day) was 83.9 mg $O_2$$.$kg$^{-1}$ ㆍhr$^{-1}$ . After 1, 5 and 10 days of stress respiration rate decreased by 37.5, 53.7 and 70.5%, respectively. Ammonia excretion showed a similar pattern to that of oxygen consumption. Ammonia excretion decreased by 80.1 % following 10 days of vibration stress. Blood hemoglobin concentration also decreased at 1, 3 and 10th day were 29.4% on day 1,83.9% on day 3 and 87.9% by day 10, while red blood cell counts at day 1 and day 10th were 59.8% and 84.7% lower than initial counts, respectively. The white blood cell count increased by 191.2% at day 7, dropping to 41.5% at day 10. Physiological activity was reduced by 50% following 3.4 days of vibration stress.

The effects of cecectomy on nitrogen utilization and nitrogen excretion were examined in single comb white leghorn (SCWL) cockerels fed a 5% protein diet supplied with urea. The cecectomy tended to increase nitrogen balance and nitrogen utilization and significantly decreased uric acid excretion (p < 0.01). Urea and ammonia excretion tended to be about 60% increased and decreased by cecectomy in SCWL cockerels, respectively, but blood ammonia, urea and uric acid concentrations were not affected. The results are in good agreement with those obtained previously in cecum-ligated chickens. It is concluded that the improvement of nitrogen utilization and decreases in urinary uric acid excretion in cecectomized chickens do not result from the modification of cecal fermentation.

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of temperature and stocking density on daily patterns and rates of total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) excretion in juvenile red seabream Pagrus major (mean body weight: 29.0 g) under fasting and feeding conditions. Fish were acclimated over 7 days under four different temperatures (10, 15, 20, and $25^{\circ}C$) and at two different densities (5.5 and $11.0\;kg\;m^{-3}$). Each treatment had three replicates and a total of 216 fish were used. After 72 hours starvation, endogenous TAN excretion was measured for each temperature and density. To investigate exogenous TAN excretion, fish were handfed a commercial diet containing 51.6% crude protein twice a day for 7 days, at 08:00 and 16:00. Water was sampled from both inlets and outlets of chambers every 2 hours over a 24 hour period. Both endogenous and exogenous TAN excretion increased with increases in temperature and density (P<0.05). Mean daily endogenous TAN excretion rates at 10, 15, 20, and $25^{\circ}C$ were 88.8, 101.1, 125.0, and $143.3\;mg\;TAN\;kg^{-1}\;d^{-1}$ at low density, and 105.2, 119.2, 141.5, and $168.8\;mg\;TAN\;kg^{-1}\;d^{-1}$ at high density, respectively. Mean daily exogenous TAN excretion rates at 10, 15, 20, and $25^{\circ}C$ were 343.5, 403.7, 535.7, and $601.7\;mg\;TAN\;kg^{-1}\;d^{-1}$ at low density, and 391.9, 479.7, 611.9, and $683.4\;mg\;TAN\;kg^{-1}\;d^{-1}$ at high density, respectively. The exogenous TAN excretion rate peaked 10~12 hours after the first feeding under all temperatures and densities. The TAN loss for ingested nitrogen increased with increases in temperature and density (P<0.05), ranging from 27.9 to 50.1% at low density and 31.7 to 56.9% at high density. This study provides empirical data for estimating ammonia excretion and managing the culture of red seabream under the given temperatures and densities.

In the paper insight is given in the legislation policy to restrain environmental pollution by pig husbandry, focused on The Netherlands (Mineral Accounting System). Besides, nutritional measures are presented to reduce environmental pollution by lowering excretion of N and P, emphasizing (multi) phase feeding, the use of low protein, synthetic amino acids supplemented diets, phytase and its effect on phosphorus and calcium digestibility, its interaction with phytic acid and proteins, and the environmental impact of the use of phytase in pig diets. Also, nutritional means are indicated to reduce ammonia volatilization from pig operations. It is concluded that nutrition management can substantially contribute to reduction of N and P excretion by pigs, mainly by lowering dietary protein levels, (multi) phase feeding and the use of microbial phytase, and that the use of phytase on a large scale in The Netherlands has a tremendous environmental impact. In 20 years the excretion of P in growing-finishing pigs has more than halved. Ammonia emission from manure of pigs can be reduced substantially by lowering dietary protein content, but also by including additional non-starch polysaccharides in the diet. A very promising method to reduce ammonia emission is to manipulate dietary cation-anion difference, e.g. by adding acidifying salts to the diet, which will lower pH of urine substantially. Further research is desirable. This also applies to determining dietary factors influencing the odour release from manure. Finally, some speculation on the future of pig farming from an environmental viewpoint is presented.

암모니아는 양식 생산성을 제한하는 주요 인자로서 암모니아 배설의 정량화는 양식시스템 내 수질 관리를 위해 중요하다. 어류의 암모니아 배설은 체중과 사료내 단백질 함량에 영향을 받는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 본 실험에서는 나일틸라피아의 암모니아 배설에 미치는 체중과 사료 내 단백질 함량에 대한 영향을 조사하였다. 세가지 크기의 나일틸라피아, 초기 평균 무게가 4.8 g, 42.7 g, 그리고 176.8 g를 대상으로 두가지 단백질 함량(30.5%와 35.5%)의 사료를 각각 어체중의 6%, 3%,그리고 1.5%공급하였다. 각 실험어는 17.1 L수조에 3반복 수용하여 실험을 수행하였다. 사료 공급 후 최대 총암모니아성 질소(total ammonia nitrogen, TAN) 배설률은 $4{\sim}8$ 시간 사이에 나타났으며, 24시간 이내로 사료 공급 이전 농도로 회복되었다. TAN 배설률$(mg\;kg^{-1}\;h^{-1})$은 어류 무게가 증가할수록 감소하였으며, 사료 내 단백질 함량이 증가할수록 증가하였다(P<0.05). 단백질 함량이 다른 두 가지 사료를 공급했을 때 나일틸라피아의 어체중(X, 습중량)에 따른 일간 TAU 배설식$(Y\;mg\;kg^{-1}\;d^{-1})$은 다음과 같다. 저단백질(30.5%)실험구$(Y\;mg\;kg^{-1}\;d^{-1})=955.69-147.12\;lnX\;(r^2=0.95)$, 고단백질(35.5%) 실험구$(Y\;mg\;kg^{-1}\;d^{-1})=1362.41-209.79\;lnX\;(r^2=0.99)$. 섭취된 질소에 대한 TAN 배설 비율은 저단백질(30.5%) 및 고단백질(35.5%)실험 구에서 각각 $28.5{\sim}37.1%$와 $37.4{\sim}38.5%$으로 나타났으며, 이에 따른 총 질소 손실은 각각 $0.22{\sim}0.68g\;kg^{-1}\;d^{-1}$과 $0.26{\sim}0.91g\;kg^{-1}\;d^{-1}$으로 고단백질 실험구와 어체중이 감소할수록 높게 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과들은 순환여과식 나일틸라피아 양식장 내 수질 및 사육관리를 위한 중요한 자료가 될 것이다.

This study investigated diurnal fasting and postprandial total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) excretion rates in juvenile Oplegnathus fasciatus (rock bream; mean body weight 45.8±1.1 g) at three temperatures (15, 20, and 25℃) in a recirculating system (three replicates). The fish were hand-fed twice daily (09:00 and 17:00 h) with commercial food (46.7% protein) until satiation. The results showed that the fasting and postprandial TAN excretion rates were temperature-dependent. The mean hourly rates were 7.7 (15℃), 10.2 (20℃), and 11.9 (25℃) mg kg fish-1 h-1 for fasting and 34.0 (15℃), 47.8 (20℃), and 60.2 (25℃) mg kg fish-1 h-1 for postprandial. At each temperature, two postprandial TAN excretion peaks were observed 2-4 h after feeding; the second peak was always higher. The TAN loss to nitrogen consumption ratio was 41.1-46.8 % and increased significantly with increasing temperature. Temperature affected fasting and postprandial TAN excretion in juvenile rock bream, providing insight for culture management.

수온 및 염분에 따른 굴의 일반적인 대사경향을 알아보기 위하여 수온과 개체크기에 따른 산소소비율과 암모니아 질소 배설률을 측정하였으며, O:N원자비를 산출하였다. 산소소비율과 암모니아 질소배설률은 개체의 크기가 작을수록 높았으며, 수온증가에 따라 증가하였다. O:N 원자비는 일반해수에서 8-40의 범위에 있었으며, 수온 $25^{\circ}C$에서 O:N 원자비는 8로 감소하였는데, 이는 산란기에 주요 대사기질로서 단백질을 이용하며, 단백질의 요구가 큰 것으로 추정된다. 이 결과는 굴양식장의 지속적인 관리 및 적정 수용력 산정을 위한 기초자료로 활용이 가능하다.

This study investigated oxygen consumption rate (OCR), $Q_{10}$ coefficient and ammonia excretion rate of the greenling, Hexagrammos otakii Jordan et Starks with the average body weight of 250 g in a semi-recirculated respiratory measuring system. The experiment was done under three different water temperatures (10, 15, $20^{\circ}C$) and five different ambient ammonia concentrations (0, 2.5, 5, 10, 20 mg/L). As the water temperature and ambient ammonia concentration increased the OCR has significantly increased (P<0.05). Given experimental conditions, the OCR of greenling were $50.8{\sim}159.4\;mg\;O_2\;kg^{-1}\;hr^{-1}$ and the relationship of water temperature (T) and ambient ammonia concentration (C) on the OCR were following: OCR = 41.3 - 1.87T - 7.38C + $0.463T^2$ + $0.66lC^2$ + 0.642TC - $0.011T^3$ - $0.010C^2$ - $0.031TC^2$ - $0.001T^2$C ($r^2$= 0.9226). $Q_{10}$ coefficients were $1.88{\sim}3.50$ for $10^{\circ}C$ to $15^{\circ}C$, $1.03{\sim}2.73$ for $15^{\circ}C$ to $20^{\circ}C$ and $1.40{\sim}1.90$ for $10^{\circ}C$ to $20^{\circ}C$, respectively. In general, the ammonia excretion rate tended to increase with increasing of the water temperature within normal ambient ammonia concentration. However, interestingly, it was observed that ammonia was absorbed rather than excreted above the ambient ammonia concentration of $2.5\;mg\;L^{-1}$, regardless of the water temperature. Thus, the largest ammonia absorption rate (AAR) was obserbed at the level of $98.4\;mg\;TAN\;kg^{-1}\;hr^{-1}$. The relationship ambient ammonia concentration (C) on AAR was following: Y = 1.61 + $10.9X^{0.7}$ ($r^2$ = 0.889).
