Exposition biomarkers to organophosphorus pesticides in Tigriopus fulvus Fischer (Copepoda, Harpacticoida)
The effects of the organophosphorus pesticide Malathion, Pestanal<sup>®</sup> on the activity of the enzymes Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and Glutathione-S-transferase and on survival were evaluated in Tigriopus fulvus. The mortality of the organisms after 96 hours (acute toxicity) and af...

The effects of the organophosphorus pesticide Malathion, Pestanal<sup>®</sup> on the activity of the enzymes Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and Glutathione-S-transferase and on survival were evaluated in Tigriopus fulvus. The mortality of the organisms after 96 hours (acute toxicity) and after 7 days (chronic toxicity) of treatment was evaluated. LC<sub>50</sub> was not calculable after 24 hours of exposition; after 48, 72 and 96 hours it resulted 905.72, 552.78, and 248.94 μg I<sup>-1</sup> respectively.
