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.
