Type:<br />
Species:<br />
static<br />
other: Labeo umbratus (fam. Cyprinidae)<br />
Result:<br />
Effects on hematological parameters were reported when<br />
adult fish were treated with sublethal concentrations<br />
(no value reported) of ammonium sulfate for 72 hours.<br />
The lethal dose was quoted to be 4<strong>20</strong> mg/L, a concentration<br />
at which mortality ocurred within 4 hours. Sublethal doses<br />
caused statistical significant changes such as an increase<br />
in the number of white blood cells dimension, and a decrease<br />
in MCV, and average corpuscular hemoglobin (ACH) when<br />
compared to controls. Other parameters such as hematocrit,<br />
number of red blood cells, hemoglobin and total plasma<br />
proteins were decreased and MCHC increased, however without<br />
statistical significance.<br />

Exposure period: 192 hour(s)<br />
Method:<br />

Test substance:<br />
other: see Test Condition<br />
no data<br />
other TS: ammonium sulfate, commercial grade<br />
Result:<br />
At 26 and 30°C a significant decrease in feeding rate was<br />
observed at concentrations >100 ppm. No effect on<br />
feeding rate was noted at a temperature of <strong>20</strong>°C.<br />
Test condition: Fish from local hatcheries. Tests were run at 3 different<br />
temperatures: <strong>20</strong>, 26, and 30°C in November/December,<br />
February/March and June/July, respectively. Two fish per<br />
aquarium and eight fish per concentration were exposed to<br />
three temperature conditions separately. Live earthworm were<br />
cut into pieces and placed into each aquarium every 24 hours<br />
and any uneaten food was removed at the same time. The number<br />
of pieces consumed by fish were observed and<br />
recorded. Tests were run for 192 hours. Nine concentrations<br />
of ammonium sulfate were used (10, <strong>20</strong>, 40, 60, 80, 100, 1<strong>20</strong>,<br />
140, 160 ppm).<br />
