respiratory surfaces, indicating that cypermethrin is inherently more toxic to aquatic organisms
(Siegfried, 1993).
Conclusion
Of course these technologies develop Aquaculture technology but on other hand intense
activity in Industrial and agricultural sectors had inaviability increased the level of heavy
metals, pesticides in natural waters among which pesticides play a major role among pollutants
of aquatic environment.
When we take spotlight on the impact of pesticides some pyrethroid causes hazardous impact
on fishes, many aquaculture researchers had made research on impact of pyrthoid in various
terms.
Most of the work had been carried out outside India and least attempts had been carried out in
India.
Cypermethrin is a synthetic, pyrethroid insecticide that has high insecticidal activity,
low avian and mammalian toxicity, and adequate stability in air and light.
According to the label for Ammo®2.5 EC insecticide, which contains 2.5 pounds of
cypermethrin per gallon, the product should not be applied directly to water or to areas where
surface water is present.
The environmental fate of cypermethrin cypermethrin is a synthetic, pyrethroid insecticide that
is available in several formulations as an emulsifiable concerntrate or wettable powder.
