Nitrogen metabolism in tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum), a neotropical model teleost: hypoxia, temperature, exercise, feeding, fasting, and high environmental ammonia

The total rate of N-waste excretion ( M N ) in juvenile tambaqui living in ion-poor Amazonian water comprised 85 % ammonia-N ( M Amm-N ) and 15 % urea-N ( M Urea-N ). Both occurred mainly across the gills with only ~5 % of M Amm-N and ~39 % of M Urea-N via the urine. Tambaqui were not especially tol...
