- Abstract
The article presents a study which aims to determine the short-term effects of carbosulfan on drifting invertebrates in the Black Volta River, Ghana. The study used drifting invertebrates collected in the Black Volta through standard drift nets from the onchocerciasis control program (OCP) invertebrate monitoring program. Results show that Chironomini, Tanypodiinae, Elmidae, Copepoda, and Coelenterata were the predominant groups band carbosulfan treatment increased invertebrate drift indices.
