Spotted scats (Scatophagus argus) are euryhaline fish of the family scatophagidae inhabiting Indian and western Pacific oceans including Sundarbans estuary Bangladesh having good demand as food aquarium. The present study describes nursery rearing techniques spotted to optimize stocking densities for better survival, growth production.

in order to study the role of the kidney in fish osmoregulation, freshwater acclimatized juvenile spottedscat (scatophagus argus l.) were subjected to four different salinities and observed for histomorphometricchanges of the kidney at 1, 2, 10 and 15 days post transfer time points. the overall morphological changesdisplayed by fish kidney included significant decrease in the density of collect...

Scatophagus argus argus (Green Scat) is a pretty aquarium fish. Its hard spines are venomous and can cause painful injury.

An attempt has been made in this communication to develop antiserum in rabbit against Scatophagus. argus sting extract. Antiserum did not neutralized the sting extract induced proinflammatory and haemorrhagic activity but successfully neutralized lethality upto 2LD50. Cyproheptadine, indomethacin and BW 755C pretreatment significantly reduced sting extract induced proinflammatory activity. The ...
