The juveniles of hybrid tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus x Oreochromis areus) were exposed to ananonia-nitrogen (N) (0, 2.5, 5, 10 and 20 mg/L) for 0, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h to evaluate the effect of ammonia-N stres...The juveniles of hybrid tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus x Oreochromis areus) were exposed to ananonia-nitrogen (N) (0, 2.5, 5, 10 and 20 mg/L) for 0, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h to evaluate the effect of ammonia-N stress on their non-specific immunity. Results show that the activity of serum lysozyme decreased signifi- candy with extension of stress time (P 〈 0.05). The total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and activity of antioxidase in liver were significantly affected. The activi- ty of T-AOC and total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) of fish exposed to ammonia-N were initially decreasing then increasing ( P 〈 0.05 ). Activities of catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were correlated with concentrations of ammonia-N. Fish exposed to lower concentrations (2.5 mg/L or 5 mg/L) showed decreased CAT activity within 24 h (P 〈 0.05 ), while those exposed to higher concentrations (10 mg/L or 20 mg/L) initially showed increased then decreased activity of CAT. Except for the highest concentration groups, fish exposed to ammonia-N showed inductive activity of GSH-Px ( P 〈 0.05 ). Under the ex- perimental conditions, non-specific immunity of tilapia was affected by ammonia-N stress, and the impact was increased with increased concentration and extension of time.展开更多
