亚洲蛤蜊（Corbicula fluminea）已成为淡水输送系统许多用户的一种害虫。一氯胺被认为是一种杀菌剂，因为它是有效的，而且三卤甲烷的生成量很低（见本期第53页的文章）。通过流动水族馆、实验室孵化器和中试规模的管道表明，1至10 mg/L的一氯胺浓度在很大的水温范围内有效地杀死了幼年蛤蜊，死亡率随着温度的升高而显著增加。随着水温的降低，蛤蜊死亡率的降低可以通过相应增加杀生物剂浓度来克服。提供了一个方程式，用于预测在给定的杀生物剂残留量和水温下可达到的杀灭效果。pH值不影响杀生物剂的效力。包括15个参考文献、表格和图表。

The Asiatic clam (Corbicula fluminea) has become a pest to many users of freshwater transmission systems. Monochloramine has been suggested as a biocide because it is effective and the formation of trihalomethanes is low (see the article on page 53 of this issue). Flowthrough aquariums, a laboratory incubator, and a pilot-scale pipeline were used to show that monochloramine concentrations between 1 and 10 mg/L effectively killed juvenile clams over a wide range of water temperatures, with mortality increasing significantly with temperature. The reduction in clam mortality as water temperature decreases can be overcome by corresponding increases in biocide concentration. An equation is provided that predicts the kill that would be achieved at a given biocide residual and water temperature. The pH did not affect the efficacy of the biocide.
