Acute toxicity of some agriculture fertilizers to rainbow trout

Amonyum sülfat, kalsiyum amonyum nitrat ve kompozit gübrelerin [15:15:15 (NPK-1) ve 25:5:10 (NPK-2)] gökkuşağı alabalığı (Oncorhynchus mykiss; 0,89±0,22 g) yavruları üzerine olan akut toksik etkileri, 96 saat süreli yarı statik test yöntemi kullanılarak belirlenmiştir. Gökkuşağı alabalıklarının %50’sini 96 saat içinde öldüren amonyum sülfat, kalsiyum amonyum nitrat NPK-1 ve NPK-2 konsantrasyonları sırasıyla 0,242, 0,408, 0,368 and 0,549 g/L’dir. En yüksek toksik konsantrasyona maruz bırakılan gökkuşağı alabalıklarının %50’sinin ölmesi için gereken zaman amonyum sülfat için 11 saat 18 dakika, kalsiyum amonyum nitrat için 12 saat 23 dakika, NPK-1 için 13 saat 38 dakika ve NPK-2 için 17 saat 47 dakika olarak belirlenmiştir. Amonyum sülfatın, kullanılan gübreler içerisinde gökkuşağı alabalıkları üzerine en yüksek toksik etkiye sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Bazı tarımsal gübrelerin Gökkuşağı alabalıklarına akut toksik etkileri

The acute toxicity of ammonium sulphate, calcium ammonium nitrate and two different composite fertilizers [15:15:15 (NPK-1) and 25:5:10 (NPK-2)] to juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss; 0.89±0.22 g) was evaluated under semistatic conditions. The concentrations of ammonium sulphate, calcium ammonium nitrate, NPK-1 and NPK-2 that killed 50% of the rainbow trout within 96-h (96-h $LC_{50}$) were 0.149, 0.259, 0.258 and 0.408 g/L, respectively. The mortality of fish was elevated with increasing concentrations of the fertilizers. The time required to kill 50% ($LT_{50}$) of the rainbow trout at the highest concentrations tested was 11 h 18 min for ammonium sulphate, 12 h 23 min for calcium ammonium nitrate, 13 h 38 min for NPK-1 and 17 h 47 min for NPK-2. Ammonium sulphate was the most toxic compound to rainbow trout compared to composite fertilizers.
