Aquaculture Salt Water Test Kit Ammonia Ammonia is one of the many forms of Nitrogen existing in environment. While other Nitrogen forms (other than Ammonia) can affect aquatic life indirectly, Ammonia is directly toxic to aquatic life. Ammonia enters the aquatic surrounding through municipal effluent discharge, thru’ nitrogen waste from mammals or also thru’ natural means like nitrogen fixation or agriculture runoff water. High levels of Ammonia lead to a toxic buildup in internal tissue and blood in marine species leading to potential death. pH and temperature can affect the Ammonia toxicity to aquatic life. Our AQUASOL Ammonia test kits are available for Salt water. Both the above kits are based on color comparison. They consist of a reagent NH1 bottle and a comparator tube, along with a color comparator. They are extremely easy to use and can be used by anybody, at any place. Nitrite Nitrites are salts of nitrous acid which occur naturally or artificially in ground water. They are released in water from Fertilizer runoff water, sewage and mineral deposits.High levels of Nitrite are toxic to mammals and other lower forms like marine species. They disturb the oxygen delivering ability ofhemoglobin in the bloodstream. Also, large blooms of Algae can grow due to high Nitrite level leading to hypoxia. Hypoxia dead zones created are deadly to almost all marine species. Therefore, regularly monitoring of Nitrite levels is very essential and needs to be done judiciously in both marine and fresh water. This is based on color comparison and the colors on the comparator are clearly discernable, making the kit very easy to use. This kit is available for Salt water. pH Salt water pH is the measure of the hydrogen ion concentration in water. It denotes if the water is acidic (7). When pH is 7, it is said to be neutral. Natural water range between pH 5.0 and pH 10.0 while sea water is near pH 8.3. pH is an essential factor which affects the growt
