Fig. 6. Body mass of individually marked fish at weekly intervals over 71 days in
the three experimental treatment groups of Series 2: nominal
[TAmm]=0 µmol l1 (control,
N=64), 70 µmol l1 (low ammonia, N=64),
and 225 µmol l1 (high ammonia, N=48). Values are
means ±1 S.E.M. (A) Satiation-fed
fish, (B) rationed fish. Within A, asterisks indicate mean body mass
significantly higher than the corresponding control mean, and crosses indicate
mean body mass significantly lower than the corresponding control mean. ANCOVA
indicated significantly higher overall growth over 71 days in the high ammonia
treatment, and no significant difference in overall growth over 71 days in the
low ammonia treatment relative to controls. Within B, there were no
significant differences.
