In this study, sodium chloride at three different concentrations, 30 000 ppm (S30), 60 000 ppm (S60) and 90 000 ppm (S90), and formaldehyde at one concentration, 3000 ppm (F), were tested as antifungal chemicals during artificial incubation (AI) of Austropotamobius pallipes eggs. Two treatments were tested without chemicals as control groups with (R) and without (C) the removal of dead eggs. After AI, formaldehyde treatment ensured high survival of stage 1 (89.7 ± 2.3%) and stage 2 (85.5 ± 2.4%) of juveniles. However, comparable survival rate to stage 1 and stage 2 (85.5 ± 5.5% and 80.6 ± 3.2%) were also found in the treatment with the highest sodium chloride concentration (S90). Significantly lower survival rate of juveniles (stage 1: 60.6–70.3% and stage 2: 56.1–67.3%) were evident in groups S60, S30 and R. However, group R demanded high labor and related costs. The lowest juvenile survival levels to stage 1 (46.4 ± 8.2%) and stage 2 (45.2 ± 6.8%) were observed in treatments without fungicide chemicals and removal of dead eggs (C).
Résumé
Dans cette étude, le chlorure de sodium à trois différentes concentrations, 30 000 ppm (S30), 60 000 ppm (S60) et 90 000 ppm (S90), et le formol à une concentration de 3000 ppm (F) ont été testés comme produits antifongiques pendant l’incubation artificielle (AI) d’œufs d’Austropotamobius pallipes. Deux traitements ont été testés sans produits antifongiques comme témoins avec (R) et sans (C) retrait des œufs morts. Après incubation artificielle, le traitement au formol assure une survie élevée au stade 1 (89 7 ± 2 3 %) et au stade 2 (85 5 ± 2 4 %) des juvéniles. Toutefois, un taux de survie comparable au stade 1 et 2 (85 5 ± 5 5 % et 80 6 ± 3 2 %) a été trouvé avec le traitement à la plus forte concentration en chlorure de sodium (S90). Un taux de survie significativement plus faible des juvéniles (stade 1 : 60,6–70,3 % et stade 2 : 56,1– 67,3 %) est observé pour les groupes S60, S30 et R. Mais le groupe R demande un gros travail coûteux. Les survies les plus faibles des juvéniles au stade 1 (46 4 ± 8 2 %) et au stade 2 (45 2 ± 6 8 %) sont observées en l’absence de traitement chimique et de retrait des œufs (C).
