I feel like the "protective amount" was not well agreed upon in the various papers, but I am not sure if there is an answer to uncover there.
One thing I liked about that paper about fish farming is that the 100ppm chloride for 1ppm nitrite thing seems to be some sort of "Standard practice" in husbandry in that industry. But in several of the papers and sites there were different amounts of sodium chloride suggested. I guess I need to look over the papers again and try and resolve the discrepancies.
I'm still not sure what nitrite "does" although it just seems to cause a sort of hypoxia. Does this mean the fish are only in trouble if they are breathing heavily?
I feel like there's just not a lot of info OUT there, at least not enough. But there's nothing to be done about that. It feels like we don't have any actual answers though, just more suppositions.
