Description

Rehab A Abd-elaziz and colleagues test how heat worsens ammonia harm in farmed catfish in a 2026 lab study. Ammonia builds up in fish ponds and harms health, while warmer water may lower tolerance. The team held striped catfish at two heat levels, with or without ammonia, for four weeks.

Fish in warm ammonia water showed skin erosion, muscle death, and breathing distress. Blood counts fell, stress hormones rose, and tissue harm grew in gills, liver, and kidney. Harm was worst when heat and ammonia came together. Strict water control matters more as climate warms tropical fish farms.
