na = total number of A. nauplii used per each species, 25 per replicate, three replicates were carried out, five concentrations were tested; LC50 = lethal concentration killing 50% of exposed organisms; LC90 = lethal concentration killing 90 % of exposed organisms; LCL = 95 % lower confidence limits; UCL = 95 % upper confidence limits; χ2 = chi square; df = degrees of freedom; SD = Standard deviation.
