Toxicity of the Organophosphate insecticide fenthion, alone and with thermal fog carriers, to an estuarine copepod and young fish

In this study, a series of laboratory tests were performed to compare the acute toxicity of technical grade fenthion, Baytex fog (fenthion plus oils), and the oil carriers alone to a variety of non-target estuarine organisms. Toxicity tests were performed on hatching eggs and juveniles of the spotted seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus) and the common snook (Centropomus undecimalis), hatching eggs of spot (Leiostomus xanthurus) and gulf menhaden (Brevoortia patronus), and adults of the calanoid copepod, Acartia tonsa.
