This study evaluated the sensitivity of male and female of guppies (Poecilia reticulata) to ammonia. LC50-96h for males, females and combined sexes of P. reticulata was 37.33, 48.34, and 42.45 mg/L of total ammonia or 1.03, 1.34, and 1.17 mg/L of un-ionized ammonia. The mortality at the concentration of 40 mg/L of total ammonia differed between the sexes with higher mortality in males. These results have implications for production systems, since recommendations of ammonia toxicity reference values that do not consider the difference between the sexes, can lead to the mortality of males, and cause economic losses because males have higher commercial value in the ornamental market.

Este estudio evaluó la sensibilidad de machos y hembras de guppies (Poecilia reticulata) al amoníaco. La CL50-96h para machos, hembras y sexos combinados de P. reticulata fue de 37,33; 48,34 y 42,45 mg/L de amoníaco total o 1,03; 1,34 y 1,17 mg/L de amoníaco no ionizado. La mortalidad a la concentración de 40 mg/L de amoníaco total difirió entre los sexos con mayor mortalidad de los machos. Estos resultados tienen implicaciones para los sistemas de producción, una vez que las recomendaciones de valores de referencia de toxicidad del amoníaco que no consideren la diferencia entre sexos, pueden conducir a la mortalidad de los machos y provocar pérdidas económicas, debido a que los machos tienen mayor valor comercial en el mercado ornamental.
