Toxicity Evaluation of Iodine Disinfectant Inclusion on Mortality and Growth of Artemia franciscana Nauplii

Artemia franciscana nauplii is a source of nutrients and pathogen vectors due to the non-selective nature filter feeder. Prevention pathogens done by adding iodine disinfectant suppress emergence bacteria. One way find out if substance toxic testing toxicity lethal concentration (LC50) on A. nauplii. The aim this study was evaluate effect determine in 50% (LC50). Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) method using as test animal. results with several doses showed that threshold value for 96 hours 20.31 ppm. were supported presence stunted growth at dose 100 ppm measuring length weight. conclusion administration concentrations it exceeds affects
