Abstract
Two outdoor experimental streams fed by water pumped from the Mississippi River were dosed with the organophosphorus pesticide chlorpyrifos (the active ingredient of Dursban and Lorsban 4E insecticides) for 100 days, and the responses of individual species and communities compared to those of a control stream. Chlorpyrifos was continuously metered into one stream whereas the other received 8 biweekly additions, each lasting 24 h. at 14 times the concentration in the continuously dosed stream. Therefore, nearly equal amounts of pesticide were introduced into each stream during the experiment. The biological study area of each stream was approximately 245 m long, contained a naturally colonizing plant and invertebrate assemblage, and was stocked with fathead minnows and bluegills.
