Ammoniotelic organisms are those that excrete ammonia directly as their primary nitrogenous waste product. This method of excretion is typically found in aquatic animals, such as most bony fish and amphibian larvae, where ammonia can be readily diluted in water. Ammonia is highly toxic, so these organisms benefit from living in environments where they can efficiently eliminate it. This contrasts with ureotelic and uricotelic organisms, which convert ammonia into less toxic compounds like urea or uric acid for excretion.
