Contamination of water bodies by pesticides can lead to fish death and reduced fish productivity etc. which can affect humans consuming these fishes as a source of protein. The present study was designed to determine the 96h LC50 value of a carbamate pesticide, Marshal (Carbosulfan 25%EC) and to investigate effects of this pesticide on the thyroid and reproductive hormones profile of Indian major carp Labeo rohita (Hamilton). The present study indicates that Marshal has potential hormonal stress on Labeo rohita. The mortality data obtained were analyzed by SPSS 16.0 based on Finney’s Probit Analysis Statistical method. The 96h LC50 value for Marshal was found to be 10 ?l/L. Effects of this carbamate pesticide on serum T3, T4 and TSH, testosterone and estradiol were investigated at sub-lethal concentration. Serum T3, T4 and TSH were studied for 96 h and testosterone and estradiol for 4 days and 15 days. These parameters (except TSH) decrease after exposure of the fish to pesticide.

The present study was designed to investigate acute toxicity of  dimethoate on juvenile Clarias gariepinus. Catfish with mean weight and length of 24.01 ± 11.60 g and 13.98 ± 5.66 cm respectively were exposed to sub-lethal levels of dimethoate in static bioassay system for 28 days and mortality data was statistically evaluated using Finney’s Probit analysis. The 96-hour LC50 value for C. gariepinus was estimated as 29.05 mg/l. The value for the LC50 was used in deducing the sub-lethal concentrations (0.01, 0.15and 0.29 mg/l). Biochemical changes in the serum such as glycogen, total protein, cholesterol, urea and creatinine were analyzed after the exposure period (28 days). The glycogenlevel decreased in all sublethal exposures. An increase in cholesterol at lower exposure concentration, followed by slight increase in urea and creatinine among treated groups was recorded. Behavioural changes which includes changes in skin colour, jerking, restlessness, erratic swimming, among others were observed. Based on the result of this study, it was concluded that C. gariepinus juveniles are very sensitive to low concentration of dimethoate. Dimethoate is highly toxic to juvenile catfishes and as such measures must be taken to avoid its run-off into our aquatic environment thus jeopardizing the recruitment of juvenile catfishes into the fishery.

Daphnia magna, the crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus, and nymphs of the stoneflies, Acroneuria californica, A. pacifica, and Pteronarcys californica were tested in the laboratory to determine their survival in different concentrations of air-supersaturated water. The mean 96-h LC50 value (lethal concentration, 50% mortality) for D. magna was 122.5% total air saturation. The 7-day LC50 was 120% and the 10-day LC50 was 117.5%. The mean 96-h LC50 for crayfish was 147% total air saturation. The 7-day LC50 was 145% and the 10-day LC50 was 133%. The 10-day EC50 values (effective concentration, 50% immobilized) for stoneflies were 135% for A. californica and greater than 125% for A. pacifica and P. californica. Bubbles (emboli) were observed in body fluids and tissues, and general body distention occurred before death in Daphnia, crayfish, and stoneflies. Lethal threshold concentrations for Daphnia and crayfish were near 111 and 127%, respectively.

Adults of the cowpea curculio, Chalcodermus aeneus Boheman, obtained from infested peas in Attapulgus (SW), Midville (Central) and Tifton (So. Central), GA; were treated topically in the laboratory, with es-fenvalerate, cyfluthrin, cypermethrin and permethrin in 1988 to establish base-line data for the documentation of potential insecticidal resistance. A preliminary test was conducted in 1987, using permethrin, es-fenvalerate, cypermethrin, cyfluthrin and cyhalothrin on insects from Tifton. The log dose probit analysis indicated that in 1987 cyhalothrin was the most toxic of the materials tested. The 1988 test showed that es-fenvalerate was less toxic than the others and was also less toxic in Tifton, where pyrethroid insecticides have been used more extensively, than in Midville and Attapulgus.

BACKGROUND: Acalypha indica Linn. has been used as traditional medicine, it contains flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, steroids, triterpenoids, and essential oils. AIM: This study aimed to determine the bio-larvicide effects of A. indica Linn. leaf stew and the silver nanoparticles against Anopheles sp. larvae. METHODS: The fresh leaves of A. indica Linn. extracted using distilled water at 100°C for 30 min. The silver nanoparticles were made by mixing a solution of silver nitrate with the stew, which acts as a reducing agent. The resulting silver nanoparticles were characterized by particle size analyzer and UV-vis spectrophotometer. The bio-larvicide effects against Anopheles sp. larvae performed using a completely randomized design. There were eight groups consisted of ten larvae and three replications. Treatment groups of stew and silver nanoparticle for concentrations 0.05%, 0.5%, and 5%, respectively. The negative control group was distilled water and the positive control group was the 0.01% abate solution. Assessment of larvicide activity was carried out every hour for 6 h and continued if there were larvae that live up to 24 h. The LC50 value was calculated based on Probit analysis. RESULTS: The results showed that the A. indica Linn. leaf stew can be made into silver nanoparticles preparations, optimal results were obtained from a mixture of 1% stew and 3 mM AgNO3. The result of bio-larvicides effect test against Anopheles sp. larvae showed that the LC50 value of the A. indica Linn. leaf stew was 727,3 ppm and the LC50 value of silver nanoparticles was 3.366 ppm. CONCLUSION: It can be concluded that A. indica Linn. is a promising larvicidal plant and can be made into silver nanoparticle preparations.
