Abstract

laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the effects of Dimilin, an insect growth regulator which acts to inhibit chitin synthesis, during the larval development of liocarcinus corrugatus Pennant. The larvae was exposed to control (10 ppb acetone sea water and untreated sea water solution) and five concentrations 0.1, 1.0, 5.0, 10.0 and 25.0 ppb of both TG and WP-25 formulations of Dimilin from the hatching to the megalopal stage, and the effect of Dimilin on development of the larvae were determined. Two formulations (TG and WP-25) had different effect on the different stages in L. corrugatus. and early stage larvae of L. corrugatus were more sensitive to TG than to WP-25. Concentrations of diflubenzuron >5.0 ppb are lethal to L. corrugatus larvae upon chronic exposure. Lethal concentrations are defined here as those in which less than 10% of the larvae survived to the megalopal stage. However, Dimilin (TG and WP-25) showed no significant effects on developmental time of L. corrugatus larvae.
