Denticle corrosion caused by ocean acidification conditions in a demersal shark species
Acid-base adjustments and first evidence of denticle corrosion caused by ocean acidification conditions in a demersal shark species Jacqueline Dziergwa, Sarika Singh, Christopher R. Bridges, Sven E. Kerwath, Joachim Enax, Lutz Auerswald ABSTRACT: Global ocean acidification is expected to chronically lower the pH to 7.3 (>2200 µatm seawater pCO2) by the year 2300. Acute hypercapnia already
Inhibition of biofilm formation by rough shark skin-patterned surfaces
Inhibition of biofilm formation by rough shark skin-patterned surfaces Hsiu-Wen Chien, Xiang-Yu Chen, Wen-Pei Tsai, Mengshan Lee ABSTRACT: In this study, we investigate the microscale structure of shark skin denticles at abdomen (A) and fin (F) locations, analyze the roughness and wetting properties related to their microstructures, and evaluate the effect of the surface properties
