| Abstract: | The effects of ultraviolet-C radiation on isolated fish scale melanophores are studied. The responses of melanophores were measured by mean melanophores size index (MMSI). At a temperature range of 27-29°C, the melanophores were exposed for varying durations ranging from one min to 60 min, to a direct source of ultraviolet-C radiation of wavelength 254 nm. It was found that the exposure of 30 min of UV-C radiation produced the highest effects on the melanophores of C. punctatus, where the MMSI reached a peak value of 8.351 ± 0.3798. The melanophores had become highly dispersed, with their cellular processes extending maximally. |
