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 | Doctoral dissertation of aquaculture: Effects of nitrite, temperature and hypercapnia on physiological processes and growth in clown knifefish (Chitala ornata, Gray 1831) MINISTRY OF EDUCATION AND TRAINING CAN THO UNIVERSITY LE THI HONG GAM EFFECTS OF NITRITE, TEMPERATURE AND HYPERCAPNIA ON PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESSES AND GROWTH IN CLOWN KNIFEFISH (Chitala ornata, Gray 1831) DOCTORAL DISSERTATION OF AQUACULTURE Can Tho, 2018 MINISTRY OF EDUCATION AND TRAINING CAN THO UNIVERSITY LE THI HONG GAM EFFECTS OF NITRITE, TEMPERATURE AND HYPERCAPNIA ON PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESSES AND GROWTH IN CLOWN KNIFEFISH (Chitala ornata, Gray 1831) Major: Aquaculture Major code: 9 62 03 01 DOCTORAL DISSERTATION OF AQUACULTURE Supervisor Prof. Dr. NGUYEN THANH PHUONG Can Tho, 2018 Data sheet Title: Effects of nitrite, temperature and hypercapnia on physiological processes and growth in clown knifefish (Chitala ornata, Gray 1831) Subtitle: PhD Dissertation Author: Le Thi Hong Gam, PhD student code: P0613005 Major: Aquaculture, Major code: 9 62 62 03 01 Affiliation: Department of Nutrition and Aquatic Products Processing, College of Aquaculture and Fisheries, Can Tho University, Vietnam Publication year 2018 Cited as: Le Thi Hong Gam, 2018.
