摘要： Ammonia nitrogen, a major oxygen-consuming pollutant in the environment, can adversely affect aquatic organisms such as fish, bivalves, and crustaceans. We investigated the toxic effects of ammonia nitrogen on the Hong Kong oyster, Crassostrea hongkongensis, using flow cytometry and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance metabolomics. Exposure to ammonia nitrogen caused time- and concentration-dependent alterations in various immune parameters in hemocytes and impaired the metabolic profiles of the gills. We observed changes in the rate of apoptosis, esterase activity, lysosomal mass, hemocyte counts, phagocytic activity, and mitochondrial mass. Exposure affected metabolic pathways involved in energy metabolism, osmotic balance, and oxidative stress. We concluded that ammonia nitrogen induces metabolic and hematological dysfunction in C. hongkongensis, and our findings provide insights into the biochemical defense strategies of bivalves exposed to acute high-concentration ammonia nitrogen.
