- Abstract
The article focuses on the bioconcentration factor of fenitrothion in the blood and brain of the european eel in Spain. The application of organophosphate and carbamate could produce toxic elements that would absorb by species during the accumulation process. The effect of chemical to species has been studied by researcher which they collected a sample of eels and used technical grade fenitrothion of 96 percent purity. Eels were exposed to fenitrothion for 96 hour and place to aquarium that contains clean tap water. Researchers have concluded that sublethal concentration of fenitrothion in 96 hours would produce anticholinesterase response in the eel.
