Toxicity of chlorophyllin against L. acuminata with continuous exposure (10:00 a.m. – 02:00 p.m.) of sunlight.

Notes: Six batches of 10 snails were exposed to different concentrations. Mortality was determined at 1 h up to 4 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 of treatments. Ts - testing significant of the regression coefficient - Ext Chl −343.9+ to −41.22+ and 0.0++ to 1973++ and Pure Chl −4.47+ to −1.35+ and 0.0++ to 27.00++ was observed. +Linear regression between X and Y. ++Non-linear regression between X and Y.
