Aquatic animals, such as bony fishes, crustaceans, and amphibian larvae, are generally ammoniotelic as ammonia which diffuses more easily through the membranes and it is more water-soluble as compared to the other nitrogen wastes. Ammonia is still the most energetically economical nitrogen waste to be synthesized.
