Changes induced by atrazine in Clarias gariepinus provide insight into alterations in ovarian histoarchitecture and direct effects on oogenesis
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)Clarias gariepinus juveniles were exposed to environmentally relevant concentrations of 0 (control), 2.5, 25, 250 and 500 μg L−1 atrazine in a quality-controlled 28-day laboratory procedure. Findings revealed a significant ... -
Chemical composition, but not specific surface area, affects calcium retention of nanostructured calcium compounds in growing rats
(Oxford Univ Press, 2017)Background: Low dietary calcium intake and bioavailability may adversely affect bone health. Reducing the size of calcium compounds increases their specific surface area (SSA, expressed as m2/g) and may increase calcium ... -
Comprehensive fish health assessment and parasitological investigation of alien and indigenous fishes from the Amatola region, South Africa
(North-West University, 2015)The conservation of biodiversity and endemism in South Africa’s freshwater aquatic ecosystems is a high priority, particularly in the Cape Floristic Region. However, the perception that South Africa lacks suitable fish ... -
Insights into the drivers of histopathological changes and potential as bio-indicator of riverine health of an aquatic apex predator from a premier conservation area: a multiple lines of evidence and multivariate statistics approach
(Elsevier, 2017)There is a need for sensitive bio-monitoring and indicator tools in toxicant impact assessment to show the effect on fish health. Histopathological assessment of fish tissue is a bio-monitoring tool allowing for early ...
