Abstract
Effect of Diazinon on Organosomatic Indices and Behavioural Responses of Clarias gariepinus (a Common Niger Delta Wetland Fish)
Highlights
In spite of the immerse contribution of pesticides to agriculture and household uses, they have been reported to have negative ecological consequences on the environment (Far et al, 2012)
Pesticides applied in agricultural field or careless management of used pesticide containers find their way into the aquatic environment, either through water run-off and or as aerosols carried by wind (Inyang et al, 2016a-f, 2017)
The results were similar to those of Clarias gariepinus exposed to monoclotophos insecticide for 30 days (Simeon, 2007)
Summary
In spite of the immerse contribution of pesticides to agriculture and household uses, they have been reported to have negative ecological consequences on the environment (Far et al, 2012). Pesticides applied in agricultural field or careless management of used pesticide containers find their way into the aquatic environment, either through water run-off and or as aerosols carried by wind (Inyang et al, 2016a-f, 2017). Pesticides are classified according to their function including herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, acaricides, fumigants etc. They are classified based on their chemical composition. Irrespective of their mode of classification, they affects target organisms, and in some cases non-target organisms as well
