HISTOLOGICAL AND ULTRASTRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE DORSO-VENTRAL SKIN OF THE JUVENILE AND THE ADULT STARRY PUFFER FISH (AROTHRON STELLATUS, ANONYMOUS 1798)

Histological and ultrastructural characterization of the dorso-ventral skin of the juvenile and the adult starry puffer fish (Arothron stellatus, Anonymous 1798)

Abstract Background The starry puffer fish (Arothron stellatus, Anonymous, 1798) is a poisonous tetradontidae fish inhabiting the Red sea.The skin constitutes an important defense against any external effects.The study aims to characterize the dorso-ventral skin of the juvenile and the adult starry puffer fish using light and scanning electron micr

Evaporation time of droplets containing thiamethoxam and adjuvants on hydrophilic, hydrophobic and lipophilic surfaces under different air relative humidities

The efficacy of pesticide applications is related to the spread and evaporation time of the droplets deposited on the target.This study evaluates the evaporation of spray droplets containing thiamethoxam and adjuvants on different surfaces and at different levels of relative air humidity.A climate controlled chamber was set up with a digital micros
