| Effects of the herbicide Basamais (bentazon) and the fungicide Opus (epoxiconazole) on oyster spat (Crassostrea gigas) were assessed using in-situ microcosms in a field experiment lasting 13 days. Six-week-old hatchery spat (mean size 1.1 mm), previously collected on PVC plates, was immersed in glass bottles filled with 200 mu m filtered seawater. Bottles were maintained underwater at 6 m depth and their water content changed every other day. Growth, measured as shell area index increase, was 126 +/- 4% in the control bottles. While no growth differences were observed between control and individual pesticide treatments at 10 mu g l(-1), oysters treated with a mix of 10 mu g l(-1) Opus and 10 mu g l(-1) Basamais showed a 50% growth reduction compared with... |
