Doctoral dissertation of aquaculture: Effects of nitrite, temperature and hypercapnia on physiological processes and growth in clown knifefish (Chitala ornata, Gray 1831)

The objectives of dissertation: The objectives of this dissertation were to investigate the effects of nitrite, high concentrations of carbon dioxide and elevated temperatures to physiological parameters and growth of the air-breathing C. ornata during sub-lethal and chronic exposures of these factors in isolation and combination in order to provide a better physiological understanding, particularly recommendations and solutions for minimizing impacts of nitrite toxicity and its combination with other environmental elements in aquaculture ponds under global climate change
