Timing of Application

Application may be one of the following:

1. Periodic: approximately three times per year for 2 to 4 days at each time, to intake water. Can be used to perform periodic adult eradication (Tsou et al. 1995; Holt and Ryan 1997).

2. Intermittent: low-level feed of chlorine dioxide will control microbiological growth and prevent settlement of postveligers.

3. Continuous or semicontinuous: using permanently installed ClO2 generation and detoxification equipment
