Toxicity of four pesticides on the fingerlings of Indian major carps Labeo rohita, Catla catla, and Cirrhinus mrigala. 1986

S K Kulshrestha, and N Arora, and S Sharma

Fingerlings of Labeo rohita, Catla catla, and Cirrhinus mrigala were exposed to selected doses of four commonly used pesticides carbofuran, DDT, dimethoate, and Meta-Systox for a period up to 30 days to determine relative toxicological effects, LC50 values for 96 hr, maximum acceptable tolerant concentration, and application factor. The use of early life history tests has been emphasized for toxicological assessments.
