Abstract

The effects of the ecdysteroid agonist tebufenozide on the larvae of Chironomus flaviplumus and Chironomus riparius were tested in the laboratory. Employing a static exposure setup, chironomids were subjected to various tebufenozide concentrations. In the most treatments it reach-ed a statistically significant difference from the control condition. As the concentration of tebufenozide was increased, a relatively larger proportion of the observed mortality was associated with the metamorphosis and molting process. The larval mortality of C. riparius was high in C. flaviplumus during over 30 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$ treatments. In terms of development, the effects of tebufenozide were delayed growth stage in relatively lower concentration such as 10 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$ tebufenozide treatments. The rates of succeed adult through the molting process were various in treated concentrations or/and the species.

non-steroidal ecdysteroid 길항물질인 tebufenozide를 사용하여 C. flaviplumus와 C. riparius에 끼친 영향을 실내실험 하였다. 정적인 실험조건 하에서 깔따구류를 다양한 농도로 처리하였다 대부분의 실험에서 비처리군과 처리군은 통계적으로 유의적인 차이를 보였다. tebufenozide의 농도가 높을수록 치사율은 증가되었으며 이는 탈피과정 또는 변태과정과 연관되었다. 30 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$ 이상의 고농도 처리에서 C. riparius의 유충 치사율은 C. flaviplumus보다 높았다. 발생적인 측면에서 상대적으로 낮은 농도인 10 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$처리 하에서 성장지연이 보였다. 본 연구에서 탈피를 통하여 성충이 된 비율은 농도처리와 노출된 종에 따라 차이가 있었다.
