Ammonia High Levels in Pond Water Effects

Effects of Excessive Ammonia Content in Pool Water
For those in the pool, where the water gathers, aquatic things depend on it. The water quality in the pool is related to the rise and fall of organisms. If the ammonia content in the pool water is too high, it will be very harmful.

Ammonia exists in two forms in the pool water, one is ionic ammonia and the other is nonionic ammonia. Nonionic ammonia has high toxicity and is easy to pass through the gills, skin and other tissues of organisms and enter their bodies, causing physiological disorders.

First, for aquatic animals, the ammonia content is too high, and the first to bear the brunt is the respiratory function. Gills are the organs of respiration, and high concentrations of ammonia can cause swelling and bleeding of gill filaments, destroying their gas exchange function. Aquatic animals are blocked from breathing and often float on the water surface in order to obtain more oxygen. This situation is like human asthma, breathing difficulties, and loss of vitality.

Second, ammonia toxicity also damages the nervous system of aquatic animals. Ammonia can interfere with the transmission of neurotransmitters and cause animal behavior to be abnormal. Common fish no longer swim in an orderly manner, or swim wildly, or become stagnant, and respond slowly to external stimuli, as if they are confused and lose their regularity.

Third, the high ammonia environment weakens the immunity of aquatic animals. The activity of immune cells in the body is reduced, and the ability to resist germs is greatly reduced. Therefore, in the pool water with high ammonia content, aquatic animals are prone to various diseases, such as rotten gill disease, enteritis, etc., the number of pathogens increases, the mortality rate rises, just like the towers are about to fall, and the foundation is shaken.

Furthermore, the high ammonia content in the pool water also affects the ecological balance of water quality. The accumulation of ammonia causes eutrophication of the water body, and the excessive reproduction of phytoplankton such as algae. Although it seems to be prosperous for a while, after the algae bloom, the algae die in large numbers, and the decomposition process consumes a lot of oxygen, which causes the water body to be hypoxic, a vicious cycle, the water quality deteriorates, the water color is turbid, and the stench gradually grows, and it is no longer as clear and vital as before.

From this perspective, the high ammonia content in the pool water is a serious threat to In order to maintain the clarity of the pool water and the health of the creatures, it is necessary to pay close attention to the content of ammonia and adjust it in a timely manner to restore the balance of the ecology and maintain the tranquility of the creatures in the pool.
