Insektisit Lambda Cyhalothrin Maruz Bırakılan Sivrisinek Balığı Gambusia affinis’te Davranış Değişimi

Abstract

Test toxic material, one of most used pesticide, the Lambda cyhalothrin (LCY) (TEKVANDO 5EC) belongs to a group of chemicals called synthetic pyrethroids and pesticides and potential toxic pollutant contaminating aquatic ecosystems, was investigated in the present study for behavioral toxicology. Mosquito fish, Gambusia affinis (Baird & Girard, 1853) were selected for responses of Lambda cyhalothrin by Using to video-based movement analysis system. Selected 3 different doses 0.1, 0.5 and 0.75 ppm were used analyzed behavioral changes according to control group. The following behaviors were measured: total distance, travelled and average speed for treatment and control groups, maximum and average speed and time moving away from the dose applied point. This suggests that LCY contamination has the potential to significantly affect (p<0.05) the behavior of Mosquito fish, G. affinis.
