Orange clownfish. The orange clownfish (Amphiprion percula) also known as percula clownfish and clown anemonefish, is widely known as a popular aquarium fish. Like other clownfishes (also known as anemonefishes), it often lives in association with sea anemones. A. percula is associated specifically with Heteractis magnifica and Stichodactyla ...
Piranha solution, also known as piranha etch, is a mixture of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The resulting mixture is used to clean organic residues off substrates, for example silicon wafers. [1] Because the mixture is a strong oxidizing agent, it will decompose most organic matter, and it will also hydroxylate most ...
Cleaning symbiosis is a relationship between a pair of animals of different species, involving the removal and subsequent ingestion of ectoparasites, diseased and injured tissue, and unwanted food items from the surface of the host organism (the client) by the cleaning organism (the cleaner). [5] Its status has been debated by biologists, with ...
Cleaner fish. Cleaner fish are fish that show a specialist feeding strategy [ 1 ] by providing a service to other species, referred to as clients, [ 2 ] by removing dead skin, ectoparasites, and infected tissue from the surface or gill chambers. [ 2 ] This example of cleaning symbiosis represents mutualism and cooperation behaviour, [ 3 ] an ...
Limonene (/ ˈlɪmənˌiːn /) is a colorless liquid aliphatic hydrocarbon classified as a cyclic monoterpene, and is the major component in the essential oil of citrus fruit peels. [1] The (+)- isomer, occurring more commonly in nature as the fragrance of oranges, is a flavoring agent in food manufacturing. [1][2] It is also used in chemical ...
Allen, 1972. Amphiprion sandaracinos, also known as the orange skunk clownfish or orange anemonefish, is a species of anemonefish that is distinguished by its broad white stripe along the dorsal ridge. Like all anemonefishes it forms a symbiotic mutualism with sea anemones and is unaffected by the stinging tentacles of the host anemone.
A 12% solution is widely used in waterworks for the chlorination of water, and a 15% solution is more commonly [38] used for disinfection of waste water in treatment plants. Sodium hypochlorite can also be used for point-of-use disinfection of drinking water, [ 39 ] taking 0.2–2 mg of sodium hypochlorite per liter of water.
Sensory systems in fish. Most fish possess highly developed sense organs. Nearly all daylight fish have colour vision that is at least as good as a human's (see vision in fish). Many fish also have chemoreceptors that are responsible for extraordinary senses of taste and smell. Although they have ears, many fish may not hear very well.
