Ammonia:Ionized ammonia will cause damage to gills and other organs. Toxicity <strong>of</strong> ammonia is varied with pH andtemperature.Nitrite and nitrate:Nitrate is non toxic to fish but nitrite is the toxic form to fish. High level <strong>of</strong> nitrite <strong>in</strong> the water can <strong>in</strong>creasemethaemoglob<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong> fish blood, which cause the disease called “brown blood disease”.Carbon dioxide:High level <strong>of</strong> CO2 <strong>in</strong> fish blood will <strong>in</strong>hibit the O2 uptake. Level <strong>of</strong> less than 6 mg/l <strong>of</strong> free CO2 <strong>in</strong> water is acceptedfor aquaculture. High level <strong>of</strong> CO 2 <strong>in</strong> water can cause nephrocalc<strong>in</strong>osis <strong>in</strong> fish, which can damage kidney.Chlor<strong>in</strong>e:Is extremely toxic to fish, caus<strong>in</strong>g acute gill damage or gill hyperplasia if fish expose to low level <strong>of</strong> chlor<strong>in</strong>e for along time. Use <strong>of</strong> sodium thiosulphate at the concentrations <strong>of</strong> 3-5 mg/l cans neutralize the toxic <strong>of</strong> chlor<strong>in</strong>e.Supper saturation:Supersaturated water with O2 or N2 can cause gas-bubble disease <strong>in</strong> fish. In aquarium or hatcheries,supersaturated water may cause by leak<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> pump or valve system. Aerat<strong>in</strong>g or agitat<strong>in</strong>g the water can solve theproblem. Young fish are more susceptible to supersaturated water condition than bigger fish. Low level <strong>of</strong> supersaturation may cause cataract, f<strong>in</strong> rot or gill disease <strong>in</strong> fish.Suspended solid:The solid particle that suspend <strong>in</strong> the water will irritate sk<strong>in</strong> and gill epithelium. Over feed<strong>in</strong>g practice is the mostimportant sort <strong>of</strong> suspended solids <strong>in</strong> the water.Toxic organic compounds:Many organic compounds are toxic to fish. Cl<strong>in</strong>ical signs and toxic effects <strong>in</strong> fish cause by organic compounds arevariable due to fish species and types <strong>of</strong> compounds. High concentrations <strong>of</strong> organic compounds causerespiratory failure and death to fish. Sub-lethal concentrations may cause bl<strong>in</strong>dness, anemia, sk<strong>in</strong> lesions, poorgrowth, tumors etc.DiagnosisThe proper results on fish health diagnosis should come from a set <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>formation on aquaculture practice <strong>of</strong> thefarmers, water quality parameters and pathogen exam<strong>in</strong>ation.Infectious disease is a disease cause by pathogenic organisms <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g parasites, bacteria, fungus and virus.Parasitic diseases56
