| Abstract: |
This study examined effects of fenoxycarb, a carbamate insecticide, on larvae of the grass shrimp, Palaemonetes pugio. In laboratory experiments, grass shrimp larvae were exposed to fenoxycarb from hatch to postlarval metamorphosis in a chronic, static renewal bio assay. LC50's ranged from 0.92 mg/L at 96 h to 0.35 mg/L at the end of the study (24 days). In assessing sublethal effects of fenoxycarb, postlarval emergence was significantly (p < 0.05) reduced in exposed grass shrimp as compared with controls, and the time to reach postlarval status was significantly (p < 0.05) increased in exposed grass shrimp. Significant differences were not found in other sublethal parameters including postlarval dry weight and intermolt duration. Analysis of fenoxycarb from spiked seawater samples showed concentrations declined by 32 to 42% after 24 h. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
