Toxicity of malachite green to the larvae of Penaeus monodon Fabricius

Gilda D. Lio‐Po, Celia R. Lavilla, Alcestis Trillo-Llobrera

Abstract

A study was undertaken examining the effect of malachite green on the development and survival of the zoeae, mysis and post-larvae of Penaeus monodon. Sensitivity varied with the different larval stages; the zoeae appeared to be the least tolerant. The prophylactic potentials of malachite green in the control of Lagenidiumand Zoothamnium infesting P. monodon larvae are considered briefly. Toxicity risks may be reduced by application between ecdyses or by the removal of the dye by filtration through activated carbon.
