After the Copper Acetate is dissolved in water, the free copper ions can destroy the activity of the oxidoreductase system in the insect body, hinder the metabolism of the insect body or combine the protein of the insect body into a protein salt. It has now become a common insecticide and algicide for fishermen . However, if it is not used properly, it will not have the effect of insecticidal treatment, but will affect the growth of the fish body and even cause poisoning death.
Therefore, the following matters must be paid attention to when using copper acetate:
(1) The toxicity of copper acetate is directly proportional to the water temperature, so it should generally be used better in sunny mornings, and the dosage should be reduced according to the water temperature.
(2) The amount of copper acetate is directly proportional to water body fertility, organic and suspended matter content, salinity, and pH value, so in the process of use, the appropriate amount should be selected according to the specific conditions of the pond.
