During the past four decades, researchers have gained a good understanding of the effects of environmental nitrite on cultured aquatic animals and how to manage elevated environmental nitrite concentrations by the addition of chloride to the environment. Our understanding of the mechanisms of nitrite toxicity has largely paralleled the development of an understanding of chloride influx mechanisms in aquatic organisms. We need to expand our phylogenetic understanding of chloride influx mechanisms in order to predict nitrite resistance in taxa that are being considered for aquaculture. A better understanding of the role of salinity in modulating nitrite toxicity in euryhaline species is also needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
