  • Descrição: Growth of Vibrio alginolyticus was not affected by TSB medium containing ammonia-N concentration in the range of 0–20 mg l −1. White shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (7–12 g in the intermolt stage) were challenged with V. alginolyticus, which had been incubated for 24 h in the TSB medium containing different concentrations of ammonia-N (0, 1, 5. 10 and 20 mg l −1). There was no significant difference in cumulative mortality for shrimp incubated in the TSB medium containing 0, 1, 5, 10 and 20 mg l −1ammonia-N after 120 h of challenge. The shrimps were challenged with V. alginolyticus previously incubated in the TSB medium for 24 h, then placed in water containing concentrations of ammonia-N at 0.01 mg l −1(control), 1.10, 5.24, 11.10 and 21.60 mg l −1. Mortality of shrimp in 5.24, 11.10 and 21.60 mg l −1was significantly higher than those in the control solution (0.01 mgl −1) after 48–168 h. Shrimps which had been exposed to control, 1.10, 5.24, 11.10 and 21.60 mg l −1ammonia-N for 7 days were examined for THC (total haemocyte count), granular cells, hyaline cells, phenoloxidase activity, release of superoxide anion, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, phagocytic activity and clearance efficiency to V. alginolyticus. No significant difference in THC, hyaline cells and granular cells were observed among shrimps at different ammonia-N concentrations. Phenoloxidase activity however, decreased when the shrimps were exposed to 5.24 mg l −1ammonia-N and greater after 7 days. The release of superoxide anion increased significantly, whereas SOD activity decreased significantly at 21.60 mg l −1ammonia-N. With shrimps exposed to 11.21 and 21.22 mg l −1ammonia-N for 7 days, phagocytic activity and clearance efficiency to V. alginolyticus significantly decreased. It is therefore suggested that ammonia in water caused a depression in the immune response and an increase in mortality of L. vannamei from the V. alginolyticus infection.
