摘要: Abstract The effect of a low concentration (50 p.p.b.) six commonly used pesticides (DDT, endosulfan, lindane, methyl parathion, dimethoate and sevin) on the net photosynthesis dark respiration activities abundant macrophytes (Chaetomorpha linum (Mull.) Kutz., Enteromorpha intestinalis (L.) Link, Gracilaria verrucosa (Huds.) Papenf., Grateloupia doryphora (Mont.) Howe, Halophila ovalis (R.Br.) Hook.f. Halodule uninervis (Forsk.) Aschers.) was investigated. exhibited differential responses in their to different pesticides. halophytes were found be more tolerant than macro-algae. Among pesticides, DDT lindane toxic most others, while sevin exerted no significant effect.
