The journal retracts the article titled, “Allantoin and Tissue Specific Redox Regulation in Mud Crab Scylla serrata under Varied Natural Water Physico-Chemical Parameters” [1], cited above.
Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the Editorial Office regarding the data reported in this publication [1].
In accordance with the journal’s standard procedures, the Editorial Office and Editorial Board conducted an investigation. The investigation identified overlap between data reported in this article [1] and earlier publications [2,3], despite the data being described as originating from samples collected at different sites.
The authors cooperated with the investigation and provided explanations and supporting materials. However, the Editorial Board concluded that the information provided was not sufficient to adequately explain the identified overlap or verify the reliability of the reported data and findings.
As a result, the Editorial Board has lost confidence in the reliability of the data and conclusions presented in this article and has decided to retract the publication in accordance with MDPI’s retraction policy.
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Water.
The authors have been informed of this retraction and have indicated their agreement with this decision.
