Toxic effects of the methanol extracts of some tunicate species

The toxicities of the methanol extracts of seven tunicates (Phallusia sp., Eudistoma obscuratum, Atriolum robustum, Didemnum sp., D. molle, Clavelina picta and Aplidium sp.) on brine shrimp and the 4th instar larvae of four vector mosquitoes (Culex quinquefasciatus, Anopheles maculatus, Aedes aegypt...
