Effects of fentin acetate molluscicide on biological performance and haematological of the common carp, Cyprinus carpio cultivated at rice field water

Abstract

Abstract Molluscicide of fentin acetate (C20H18O2Sn) is commonly used at the present due to effective in terms to control of molluscs in the rice field. The aims of this experiment is to determine toxicity effect of fentin acetate on growth, productivity, and blood glucose on the common carp, Cyprinus carpio cultured at rice field water. A 12 of rice field plots with size of 25m2 each were used. The stocking density of common carp was 25 fish/m2 for each rice plot. The culture period of the common carp was 21 days. The different fentin acetate concentration as treatments were as followed M0) without molluscicide; M1) 0.375 g/L of molluscicide; M2) 0.75 g/L of molluscicide); and M3) 1.5 g/L of molluscicide. Statistical analysis using one-way ANOVA with three replicates for each treatment was performed. The result showed that the treatment of molluscicide at 0.75 g/L was significantly different to the others on survival rate and productivity (p<0.05). Application of 0.75 g/L of molluscicide showed a positive correlation on blood glucose value.
