“…The significance level was set at 0.95 and is expressed as a p-value 0.05. (Klein et al, 1992). Considering this classification, FNT was moderately toxic to all the three species of fish tested.…”

ABSTRACT:The acute toxicity of fenitrothion (FNT) alone and combined with piperonyl butoxide (PBO) or triphenyl phosphate (TPP), and their effect on liver esterase (LE) activity of Gambusia holbrooki, Pseudorasobora parva and Oncorhynchus mykiss was studied in aquaria for 96h. The results indicated that fenitrothion is moderately toxic to the three species of fish tested, the toxicity being highest to O. mykiss followed by P. parva and G. holbrooki. Both FNT concentrations and the exposure time on the activity of LE and FNT (two way ANOVA P<0.05) caused more inhibition in G. holbrooki than P. parva. Pretreating fish with either PBO or TPP changed the acute toxicity level and LE sensitivity compared with those exposed to FNT alone. The acute toxicity level and susceptibility of LE to FNT was found to be inversely related. With additional studies P. parva and G. holbrooki have the potential to be used as bioindicator, and LE as biochemical biomarker of environmental pollution by FNT and other related compounds.

“…Laboratory tests have obvious practical advantages, especially when study is urgently needed for a large number of pesticides. If only because of their simplicity, these tests are essential at least as a screening step (Klein et al, 1992). However, procedures and protocols in laboratory tests must fulfill certain criteria: the procedure used in the test should, for the most part, be standardized, their results should be reproduced and replicated, results should be easy to manage for statistics, comparative data should be available for the evaluation of test results and test(s) should be practicable.…”

Pesticides have played a significant role in traditional crop protection during the last five decades. Consequently, high yields have been harvested from treated crops. However, man's eagerness for inventing these much needed chemicals has not allowed for ample establishment of risk reduction measures against their possible adverse effects on non-target organisms. This occurred mostly because crop production was given top priority, and partly because of the poor research and development (R & D) resources in the past. After many years of pesticide use, it is now recognized that application of broad spectrum and non-selective pesticides could pose high risks to beneficial organisms, especially among mite and insect species which usually regulate pest population(s) under natural conditions. Selective pesticides will always be needed in sustainable integrated pest management (IPM) for commercial-crop(s) pests. Pesticide testing methods to determine the effects of pesticides on beneficial mite and insect species are gaining priorities in R & D because of their vital importance to crop protection. In this review paper we examine pesticide testing methods and their evaluation and interpretation on beneficial mite and insect species. The limitations and implications of pesticide effects in IPM and their future prospects are also discussed.
