Abstract:
The acute toxicities of trichlorfon, cypermethrin and avermectins to juvenile snail of Babylonia areolata were studied with method of semistatic water. The results show that the 24 h LC50s of trichlorfon, cypermethrin and avermectins were 210.54 mgL-1, 32.52 mgL-1 and 8.13 mgL-1, respectively, while 48 h LC50s were 93.52 mgL-1, 16.90 mgL-1 and 3.96 mgL-1, respectively. The order of lethality was trichlorfoncypermethrinavermectins, and their safe concentrations (SC) to juvenile snail of B.areolata were 5.54 mgL-1, 1.37 mgL-1 and 0.28 mgL-1, respectively. It is concluded that they all can be used in the culture of B.areolata, but considering environmental impact and drug residues, they should not be abused in practical application.
