Abstract:
The acute toxicity of formaldehyde, benzalkonium-bromide, povidone-iodine and beta-cypermethrin to
Lutjanus rivulatus larva was studied with the method of semi-static water. The result shows that the order of toxicity is beta-cypermethrin > povidone-iodine > benzalkonium bromide > formaldehyde. Formaldehyde, benzalkonium bromide and povidone-iodine are low toxicants, and their SC (safe concentration) is 19.880 0 mg · L
-1, 7.571 0 mg · L
-1 and 2.842 9 mg · L
-1, respectively. Beta-cypermethrin is a highly toxic substance, whose SC is 0.002 8 mg · L
-1. The 24 h LC
50 for formaldehyde, benzalkonium bromide, povidone-iodine and beta-cypermethrin is 81.324 0 mg · L
-1, 40.761 9 mg · L
-1, 15.207 7 mg · L
-1 and 0.015 3 mg · L
-1, respectively, while 48 h LC
50 is 75.958 7 mg · L
-1, 34.741 3 mg · L
-1, 12.989 4 mg · L
-1 and 0.012 9 mg · L
-1, respectively. It is recommended that beta-cypermethrin not be used in the breeding of
L.rivulatus, while benzalkonium-bromide and povidone-iodine be used carefully.
