dc.description.abstract	This report describes a project undertaken to study the response of two wood-boring isopods to various concentrations of precocene II in solution and to establish the stability of this chemical in water. The results indicate that precocene II may be an effective agent in deterring the wood boring activities of S. terebrans and L. tripunctata. Further studies are needed to establish the method of action of precocene on marine isopods and to develop a method for treating wood with precocene in order to inhibit the activity of boring organisms.	en
