- Abstract
Pesticides are highly toxic to contaminating the nature specially theaquatic ecosystem. We have selected profenofos to record its toxicity in mussel, Bivalve Lamellidens corrianus was examined. Profenofos was applied in different concentrations for different durations. LC50 values of profenofos for fresh water musscels were determined as 8.84, 8.08, 7.20 and 6.49 mg L-1 respectively. The results show that profenofos is highly toxic for freshwater mussel and it should be used with caution in agriculture to protect natural waters from contamination.
