Chronic Effects of Diazinon<sup>®</sup> Exposures Using Integrated Biomarker Responses in Freshwater Walking Catfish, <i>Clarias batrachus</i>

Diazinon exposures have been linked to the onset of toxic pathways and adverse outcomes in aquatic species, but the ecological implications on model species are not widely emphasized. The objective of this study was to determine how the organophosphate pesticide diazinon affected hematological (hemo...
