摘要：Hydroides elegans is a gregarious tube building polychaete which occurs in tropical and sub-tropical waters. Adults were found to have good tolerance in laboratory assays using. The effect of flucloxacillin on fertilization and early development was explained through three experiments. Flucloxacillin is a antibiotics to treat bacterial infections. In normal fertilization the percentage of successful development at FM stage was 100±0.00 upto larval release stage was 80.11±0.68. In Expt. I higher concentration 50% of the embryos showed abnormal development and deformities. Expt. II in lower concentrations upto 800ppm the embryo showed high deformities. Expt. III, in 400ppm nearly 60% of embryos showed abnormal development in Blastula stage. Finally, more than 100ppm concentrations did not reach the release stage. The percentage of successful development was decreased in Expt. I to Expt. III. The present paper deals with the toxic effects of flucloxacillin on fertilization and early development of H. elegans and the percentage of successful development of embryos were studied.
