Toxicity of extracted chlorophyllin in laboratory condition against L. acuminata.
Exposure period (h) | Treatment | LC50 mg/L (w/v) | LCL | UCL | Slope value | t-ratio | g-value | Heterogeneity |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
24 | Ext Chl | 882.71 | 831.01 | 981.00 | 7.68± 1.45 | 5.27 | 0.13 | 0.18 |
48 | Ext Chl | 795.51 | 755.58 | 851.20 | 7.46± 1.35 | 5.52 | 0.12 | 0.27 |
72 | Ext Chl | 728.41 | 687.15 | 768.60 | 7.31± 1.32 | 5.54 | 0.12 | 0.26 |
96 | Ext Chl | 666.56 | 629.89 | 695.48 | 9.79± 1.44 | 6.75 | 0.08 | 0.48 |
Notes: Six batches of 10 snails were exposed to different concentrations. Mortality was determined at 24 h to 96 h. Concentrations given are the final concentration (w/v) in the glass aquarium water. Ext Chl - extracted chlorophyllin; Pure Chl - pure chlorophyllin; LCL - lower confidence limit, UCL - upper confidence limit. Significant negative regression (p<0.05) was observed between exposure time and LC50 treatments. Ts - testing significance of the regression coefficient - Ext Chl −3.72+ to −2.23+ and 265.8++ to 1268++ was observed. +Linear regression between X and Y. ++Non-linear regression between X and Y.
