Larvae of freshwater prawn Macrobrachium nipponense reared in tap water dechlorinated with sodium thiosulfate (STS) have reduced survival time and retarded development, compared with other dechlorination methods. We examined the effects of STS and sodium tetrathionate (STT), which is produced by residual chlorine and STS, on survival and molts of larvae. STT had the same effect on larvae as the positive control (aerated tap water), however, larvae were susceptible to STS, onset of death was rapid at STS concentrations of >2 mg/l. Therefore, further clarification of appropriate concentration of STS for dechlorination is necessary.
