Abstract
The effects of two dithiocarbamate formulations (Aquatreat® DNM-30 and Busan® 85) on the initiation and progression of limb regeneration following the removal of the left fifth walking leg (pereiopod) were studied with the estuarine grass shrimp,Palaemonetes pugio. Exposure to either Aquatreat DNM-30 or Busan 85 affected both the initiation and progression of limb regeneration; the shrimp exhibited dose-related inhibition of regenerative growth. The resultant EC50 values for inhibition of regenerative limb growth were well below the median lethal concentrations (LC50s) for grass shrimp. In tests with molting grass shrimp, Busan 85 was more acutely toxic than Aquatreat DNM-30.
