Abstract
Nearly ninety per cent of nitrogenousexcretory products of fish originate fromprotein metabolism mainly consisting ofammonia, urea and uric acid. The type of endproduct depend on environmental factors(Tatri, 1981). Ammonia is the major excretoryproduct accounting for 80% of total nitrogenexcreted in fish (Smith, 1929; Wood, 1958 andFromm, 1963). Liver is the main site ofammonia production in teleost fish (Vellasand Serfaty, 1974). Ammonia primarily producedfrom the action of AMP deaminaseand GDH enzymes which are responsible forthe production of ammonia were estimatedduring starvation in order to elucidate theirrole in the diversion of ammonia toxicity.Downloads
