Description
Summary:Sea anemone, H magnifica is one of the most important marine invertebrates for marine ornamental and ill discoveries of drugs. One of the major problems ill this organism to be kept under captivity is because of the high mortality that due to improper handling which wounded the anemones and subsequently to the secondary infection. This study aims to investigate the effect of L-Ascorbic acid (L-AA) on wound healing and tissue regeneration in bisection through the centric anemones and 50% of the tentacles shaved anemones.
