“…Antimycin degrades naturally within 1-14 d, and most frequently between 4 and 7 d (Walker et al 1964). Degradation rate greatly increases at higher pH, and it is recommended that toxin concentrations be increased when pH is above 8.5 (Lee et al 1971;Marking and Dawson 1972;Aquabiotics Corp. circa 1985). Higher temperature also reduces persistence of antimycin (Marking and Dawson 1972).…”

“…Antimycin (trade name, Fintrol) was selected as the fish toxicant. Antimycin has several desirable qualities, including specificity (Walker et al 1964;Herr et al 1967;Schnick 1974aSchnick , 1974b, lack of repellency (Binns 1967;Lennon et al 1970), short exposure time (Gilderhus 1972), and rapid biodegradation (Walker et al 1964;Lee et al 1971;Marking and Dawson 1972). This toxin has been widely used since the early 1960s for renovation projects (Lennon et al 1970), and it has been used in several national parks (including Yellowstone National Park) and wilderness areas in conjunction with programs designed to protect or reintroduce native fishes (Varley et al 1976;USFWS 1985;Coman, no date).…”

Use of Antimycin for Removal of Brook Trout from a Tributary of Yellowstone Lake

A major spawning migration of native Yellowstone cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarki bouvieri occurs in Arnica Creek, a tributary of Yellowstone Lake. An introduced population of brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis was detected in Arnica Creek in May 1985. Subsequent electrofishing surveys of 40 additional tributaries of Yellowstone Lake revealed that brook trout were restricted to Arnica Creek. Because of undesirable ecological consequences to Yellowstone Lake, the U.S. National Park Service decided to eradicate the brook trout population. The Arnica Creek drainage, including a 23.6‐hectare lagoon, was treated with antimycin in August 1985. A second application in August 1986 was limited to the stream. Posttreatment surveys in 1987, 1988, and 1989 indicated that brook trout were eliminated, and spawning migrations of cutthroat from Yellowstone Lake have remained viable. Application techniques and accurate estimates of toxin dispersal within the stream appeared to be the most critical variables affecting treatment success.

“…Another disadvantage is that scaleless fishes are more resistant to antimycin and require higher concentrations for toxic effects Luhning 1969a, 1969b). Its toxicity is affected by the pH of the water, organic material, and turbidity (Lee et al 1971;Marking and Dawson 1972;Gilderhus 1982). The public is restricted from a treated area for 7 d posttreatment (Clearwater et al 2008;Abdel-Fattah 2011), and flowing water from treatment areas must also be deactivated with potassium permanganate (Abdel-Fattah 2011).…”

Chemical controls ranging from natural products to synthesized chemicals are widely used in aquatic pest management activities. Chemicals can be used to lure organisms to traps or can cause direct mortality by altering the physiological function of an organism. Much of what is known about controlling pests with chemicals is from research done on terrestrial pesticides. This paper focuses on how chemicals might be used as aquatic pesticides to control or eradicate aquatic invasive species. Current control tools are described, as are new technologies designed to selectively target the pest to reduce risks to nontarget organisms and the environment. Overview of Chemical Control in Aquatic Pest ManagementChemical controls are an integral part of an aquatic integrated pest management (IPM) plan. The high degree of efficacy, good availability, and generally low cost make them an attractive option for aquatic nuisance species control. Chemicals can be applied to achieve control in different ways. Pheromones, for example, may lure aquatic pests to traps to enhance removal efficiency. Selective biocides, such as the molluscicide Zequanox and the lampricide 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM), may limit population growth through lethal endpoints. Enriching water with carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) may function as a behavioral deterrent to prevent invasive species from moving upstream. Overall, chemicals have the potential to serve unique roles within fisheries management or pest management programs. An understanding of the individual mechanisms and modes of action is critical to the success and effectiveness of pesticide applications.Pesticides must have a high degree of toxicity toward their target yet must be fairly nontoxic toward humans and other nontarget species (Duke et al. 2010). In the developed world, pests are largely controlled by synthetic

“…When in aqueous solution, antimycin kills by entering the blood stream through the gill epithelia and inhibiting the cellular metabolism of oxygen (Rieske et al 1967a(Rieske et al , 1967b. Environmental persistence is reduced by factors that accelerate decomposition of the relatively large antimycin molecule; such factors include increased water temperature, turbidity, high pH, and sunlight exposure (Lee et al 1971;Marking and Dawson 1972). Degraded byproducts have an insignificant level of toxicity to fish and mammals (Herr et al 1967).…”

We assessed the effects of antimycin (Fintrol) on benthic macroinvertebrates during a large Brook Trout Salvelinus fontinalis restoration project in the southeastern United States. Control and treatment sites were established in first‐ through fourth‐order streams throughout the watershed and below the fish passage barrier where a neutralizing agent (potassium permanganate [KMnO4]) was administered. Hess samples were collected before and after chemical application (short term: 1 and 2 months after; long term: 9 and 12 months after). Analysis of similarity, nonmetric multidimensional scaling, and repeated‐measures ANOVA were used to determine differences in assemblage metrics among control, treatment, and neutralization sites over time. Macroinvertebrate communities and their responses to antimycin were different at downstream (third‐ and fourth‐order) sites relative to headwater (first‐ and second‐order) sites. Overall, abundances (especially stonefly and caddisfly abundances) increased after antimycin application, reflecting a positive response within the macroinvertebrate assemblage. Several variables, including mayfly and stonefly abundances, were significantly different among control, concentrated‐KMnO4, and dilute‐KMnO4 sites; however, differences were undetectable after 9 months. Many taxa were substantially more abundant several months after treatment, indicating a thriving macroinvertebrate assemblage throughout the watershed. Future studies yielding similar results would suggest that native fish stocking efforts can commence shortly after chemical degradation. Received May 2, 2014; accepted September 10, 2015
