Toxicity of chlorophyllin against L. acuminata with discontinuous (1 h interval) exposure in sunlight.

Notes: Six batches of 10 snails were exposed to different concentrations. Mortality was determined at 2 h to 8 h each with 1 h intervals. 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 significant of the regression coefficient - Ext Chl −66.85+ to −42.51+ and 0.0++ to 1268++ and Pure Chl −1.81+ to −0.59+ and 0.0++ to 25.10++ was observed. +Linear regression between X and Y. ++Non-linear regression between X and Y.
