Effect of natural dissolved humic material on bioavailability and acute toxicity of fenpropathrin to the grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idellus.

The effects of aquatic humic acids on the bioconcentration and acute toxicity of fenpropathrin were evaluated using grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idellus, in laboratory freshwater systems. The results demonstrated that both bioavailability and acute toxicity decreased in the presence of aquatic humic acid 5 and 10 mg/liter. In addition, the extent of influence increased with increasing concentration of aquatic humic acid. Copyright 1999 Academic Press.
