Yep, ammonia isn't good for fish.  Which is why they are constantly dumping it
out of their bodies-- into the water.  If some of the ammonia happened to make
it to the surface of the ocean, for a few minutes a small area would have a
slightly higher concentration, which would quickly diffuse into the general
fish-pee background.

(Hint-- the ocean is kind of a big place).
