摘要： Continuous exposure to high levels of ammonia can cause oxidative damage to fish tissues and organs. To date, the mechanism by which juvenile golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus) are poisoned by ammonia exposure has not been thoroughly elucidated. although the mechanisms of ammonia toxicity are not well described for the pompano, many other studies presented these effects to other fish species. So an overview would be given. First, an acute ammonia nitrogen toxicity experiment on juvenile golden pompano obtained a 96-h half-lethal concentration (96 h LC50) of 26.9 mg/L. In the ammonia exposure experiment, fish were sampled at 0 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 96 h after exposure to ammonia water (26.93 mg/L). The results showed that with the prolonged ammonia nitrogen exposure, plasma cortisol (COR), total cholesterol (TC), glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (ALT), glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (AST) and malonaldehyde (MDA) levels continued to rise, while glucose (GLU) levels first increased and later gradually decreased after 12 h. The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) in the liver and the mRNA expression levels of antioxidant genes (SOD, CAT, and GPX) first increased and subsequently decreased with increasing exposure time. Through microscopic observation, it was found that the degree of liver damage increased with increasing stress time and was most serious at 96 h. In the post-poison recovery experiment, the fish exposed to ammonia were transferred to clean water, and samples were taken at 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 96 h after recovery. The results showed that with the increasing recovery time, each index recovered to the initial level to varying degrees, but the recovery time of 96 h was not enough for the fish to return to the normal level. We also examined the regulation of the Nrf2-Keap1 signaling pathway by the molecular mechanism of the antioxidant defense system. The results of this analysis showed that there was a positive correlation between Nrf2 and liver antioxidant gene expression levels, while there was a negative correlation between Keap1 and liver antioxidant gene expression levels, which may be observed because Nrf2 plays a key role in inducing antioxidant genes, and Keap1 may hinder the response to Nrf2. These results may provide a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the impact of ammonia exposure on fish and help to provide a foundation for managing the healthy reproduction of juvenile fish.
