USE OF NO AND NO DONORS FOR TERMINATING DORMANCY IN INVERTEBRATES

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for terminating dormancy in an invertebrate, wherein said invertebrate is brought in contact with nitric oxide and/or a nitric oxide donor. The method can be used in pest management of unfavourable species, in eliminating dormant stages of aquatic invertebrates in ballast water in promoting termination of dormancy in beneficial species and /or in stimulating production of live food in aquacultures.
