The investigation of the toxic potential of a newly introduced herbicide, Florpyrauxifen-benzyl (FPX), on Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) was the aim of this study. For 96 h, the median lethal concentration (LC 50 ) was assessed in fish juveniles using the Probit analysis following the exposure to five concentrations of FPX (2–3 ppm). For investigating some mechanisms of FPX toxicity, fish were allocated into three grou...

Recently, solar energy has emerged as the most promising renewable energy source to meet the world’s energy demands. However, to harness the potential of solar energy, accurate data on solar radiation are crucial. It is considered the first step in assessing solar resources for various applications and achieving energy sustainability goals. Due to the unavailability of solar radiation measurements in many parts of the world, s...

This study aimed to examine the side effects of selected neonicotinoids (Acetamiprid, Aceta, and Imidacloprid, Imid) on Oreochromis niloticus juveniles. The acute toxicity, Probit method, revealed an LC 50 of 195.81 and 150.76 ppm for Aceta/96 h and Imid/72 h respectively. The fish were divided into three groups that were exposed, for 21 days (n = 5/replicate), to 1/10 of the LC 50 of either neonicotinoids, however, the third...
