Abstract

Synthetic Pyrethroids are  the new major class of broad spectrum organic insecticides used in Agriculture. Among the  Pyrethroids,  Fenvalerate  (RS  a cyano  3 Phenoxy  Benzyl  RS  2-{4  Chlorophenyl ] 3-Metyl  Butyrate)  is  used extensively and is most effective  Pyrethroid. The technical isomer is a mixture of four optical isomers  2 S, a S, 2R and a S. The  2S  isomers are more toxic than 2R. They  are toxic to aquatic organisms. When they  are  being transported into aquatic  environment.  The  toxic action  of  the  toxicant will depend  on metabolism  and  mode  of action  in  aquatic organism.  Hence  to  study  it static  and  continuous  flow  through  tests  were   conducted  to determine LCso  values to the freshwater fish. The possible mechanism of toxic action will be presented.
