The development of a screening method for the activity of pyrethroids against wood boring marine crustaceans, Limnoria spp
IRG/WP 443D Rutherford, R C Reay, M G Ford
The present work is concerned with the develepment of a suitable bio-assay technique to determine the biological activity (contact action) of pyrethroids against Limnoria spp. Estimates of the toxicity of three pyrethroids, permethrin, cypermethrin and decamethrin (the structures of which are shown in Fig. 1.) to the marine borer have been obtained.
