“…Rates of loss of carbofuran from aquatic plants in this study appeared to parallel its corresponding rates of loss from water, possibly because carbofuran degradation in the water column resulted in desorption from sediments or plant surfaces as has been suggested in other studies (Hughes et al, 1980;Huckins et al, 1986).…”

: A multipond study was conducted in 1986 to determine the fate of carbofuran and its effects on aquatic macroinvertebrates in alkaline, Canadian prairie parkland ponds. Four ponds were sprayed with carbofuran in late July; four other ponds served as controls. Sixteen hours after spraying, concentrations of carbofuran in the water column ranged from 9-32 μg l(-1). After 124 h, concentrations had declined to 3-12μg l(-1). Carbofuran partitioned into submersed aquatic plants, ranging from three to 46 times greater in the plants than in the surrounding water. Carbofuran was below detection limits in most sediment samples. Among the aquatic macroinvertebrates considered in this study, the crustacean Hyalella azteca and trichopteran larvae declined significantly in abundance following the application of carbofuran. Coenagrionidae and small chironomid larvae did not decline following carbofuran application. Hyalella azteca abundance remained relatively low in treatment ponds through to May 1987, while trichopteran larval abundance had recovered by August 1986. There were no readily apparent shifts in community structure in this study, although slight, disproportionate increases in Chironominae and Coenagrionidae in the treatment ponds following spraying may have resulted from such factors as reduced competition or a change in the size or composition of the food base.

“…Ali and Mulla (1978) concluded that toxicity was less severe and less persistent in the lake system only partially treated with chlorpyrifos. Hughes et al (1980) evaluated the toxicity of chlorpyrifos (emulsifiable formulation; -10 ",giL measured initial concentration) to cladoceran and copepod zooplankton in artificial and natural ponds for 10 wk (Ontario, Canada). Chlorpyrifos reduced cladoceran and copepod abundance; cladoceran abundance remained reduced for 40 d, which resulted in increased algal biomass (Hughes et al 1980).…”

“…The effects of these chemicals on plankton communities have been investigated by several authors (Hurlbert et al, 1972;Hughes et al, 1980;Kaushik etal., 1985;Day etal., 1987;Yasuno et al, 1988;Helgen et al, 1988). In these studies, chemicals often showed secondary effects such as an increase of algae or some animal species following the elimination of competitors or predators.…”

Zooplankton communities with a high or low density of Chaoborus larvae were established in outdoor concrete ponds, to which a carbamate insecticide, carbaryl, was applied at 0.1 or 0.5 mg 1 -. The lower concentration of the chemical was harmful only to Cladocera. The higher concentration damaged Chaoborus, Copepoda, and some rotifer species, as well as Cladocera. In the ponds with a low density of Chaoborus, chemical application altered the cladoceran community from dominance by Daphnia to that by Bosmina and Moina. In the ponds with a high density of Chaoborus, Chaoborus excluded cladocerans from the zooplankton community presumably by predation, and supported the dominance of rotifers. Cladocera did not recover after application of the chemical, even when Chaoborus was eliminated by the higher concentration of chemical. The relatively rapid recovery of Chaoborus seemed to interrupt the recovery of Cladocera.
