This is what I have read on two different articles as I wanted to know more about Wesleys Osmosis information.

*Natural metabolic processes of the fish and marine life occurs during shipping and results in the release of toxic ammonia and carbon dioxide into the water they are shipped in, lowering the pH of the water. Proper acclimation will raise the pH slowly, releasing and removing the ammonia safely. If the pH is to low harmful ammonias will be transformed into an inter form of ammonium, and if the pH is raised to quickly the ammonium will release the ammonia which can cause harm to the fish or marine life.*

John I am no chemist but I read this on more than one site and they all mention this process I cut paste above. But they were all salt water specific.
