Investigation Of Acute Toxicity Of Synthetic Pyrethroids Fenvalerate In Fish Oreochromis Mossambicus
Main Article Content
Abstract
Acute toxicity of synthetic pyrethroids fenvalerate in fish tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus investigated in the present study. The static renewal test method of acute toxicity was used. The experiments were repeated 3 times and the 96-h LC50 was determined for the, Oreochromis mossambicus. The data obtained from the acute toxicity test were evaluated using the probit analysis statistical method, developed by USEPA. The 96-h LC50 value for fenvalerate in fish Oreochromis mossambicus was found to be 30.885 ppb. Behavioural alterations were studied during the exposure period.
