Mucous pores (opening of mucous cells) and epithelial cells were visualized to have developed a densenetwork of irregularly interwoven microridges which could be interpreted as a means to retain maximum possible mucus atthe surface of the epithelial cells in S. richardsonii in order to protect against physical abrasions. Snout epidermis issubjected to more frictional stress if compared with the epidermis covering the general body surface as it is first to come incontact with water current, especially when fish swims upstream and hence correlation has been made in relation to friction.<#LINE#>Nag T.

While thebiochemical reactions inside the digester are complex, concurrent and if not regulated, they become counterproductiveresulting into souring or shut down of the digester. For this purpose, detailed procedure is given by focusing underlyingprincipals which regulate biogas output. Finally, factors affecting digester performance are summarize so that maximumoutput of biogas could be generated, leaving little BOD/COD in the effluent to be used as organic manure without defyingthe norms set by State Pollution Control Board. For the sake of completeness, method of ORP estimation is given, since itsnarrow and critical range determines success or failure of anaerobic digestion.<#LINE#>Dannis A. and Burke P.E.@Dairy waste anaerobic digestionhandbook: Option for recovering beneficial products fromdairy manure@Environment Energy Company, Olympia,WA, USA, 16-20 (2001)@Yes$Kim H.W., Han S.K. and Shin H.S.@The optimization offood waste addition as a co-substrate in anaerobic digestionof sewage sludge@Waste Manag.
