Extract

Recent experimental measurements have confirmed the accuracy of earlier calculations of the extent of hydrolysis of ammonium ions in sea water over a range of temperature and salinity. Tables of the percentage of un-ionized ammonia in sea water compiled from the calculated data can therefore be used with confidence in assessing ammonia toxicity in mariculture systems.
