Abstract
The toxicity bioassay experiment was conducted using four detergents, namely,
linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS), branched alkylbenzene sulfonate (BAS), alfa olefin
sulfonate (AOS) and sodium sulfonate (SS.) 0.1 Metapenaeus dobsoni juveniles.
The results indicated that, LAS was most toxic and AOS the least and were in the
order: LAS>SS. >BAS>AOS. The LCN, LC50 and LC84 concentrations for all the
detergents were calculated for 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours. The 95 % confidence limits
for LC50 and slopes were also calculated by probit analysis.
