Water quality standards: Total Ammonia Nitrogen
For seawater or brackish water aquaculture management, the salicylate method is best for total ammonia nitrogen analysis.

TAN, other water quality factors affect nitrification rates in biofilters
An important criterion when studying biofilters is the conversion rate of total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) to nitrate-nitrogen in production water. Although nitrification rates have been based on media surface areas, they do not always reflect the actual nitrification achieved. Volumetric TAN conversion rate is a direct measure based on filter volume.
