Journal ArticleDOI

Acetylcholinesterase inhibition in estuarine fish and invertebrates as an indicator of organophosphorus insecticide exposure and effects

TL;DR: Additional work is needed in both fish and invertebrates to better explain species‐specific differences in the relationship between AChE inhibition and mortality and to investigate other physiological perturbations associated with A cholinesterase inhibition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of risk reduction strategies for the management of agricultural nonpoint source pesticide runoff in estuarine ecosystems.

TL;DR: Comparisons with laboratory toxicity tests established that pesticide exposure was the primary cause of observed field impacts at each site, indicating the value of an integrated risk reduction strategy (BMP, IPM, and RP) for minimizing impacts from NPS agricultural pesticide runoff.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toxicity of fipronil and its enantiomers to marine and freshwater non-targets.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the most toxic isomer of fipronil is organism-specific and that enantioselective toxicity may be more common in crustaceans than in other aquatic organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toxicological studies in tropical ecosystems: an ecotoxicological risk assessment of pesticide runoff in South Florida estuarine ecosystems.

TL;DR: A multi-year study in the C-111 canal system and associated sites in Florida Bay was undertaken to determine the potential pesticide risk that exists in South Florida as discussed by the authors, which indicated that runoff from agricultural processes led to quantifiable pesticide residues in both canal and bay surface water, which occasionally exceeded current water quality criteria.
