“…Cypermethrin is reported to act directly on the sodium channels and thereby inhibit the nervous transmissions within the olfactory system (Moore and Waring 2001). Yilmaz et al (2004) reported behavioral changes of male guppies upon exposure to cypermthrin concentration of 15 lg/L. Significant alterations in different morpho-behavioral patterns of Channa punctatus due to cypermthrin exposure were also observed even at sub-lethal doses (Kumar et al 2007).…”

“…Montanha et al (2012) studied the behavior of silver catfish exposed to sub-lethal concentrations of cypermetrhin and reported symptoms of poisoning, such as loss of balance, swimming alteration and dyspnea. Breathing and neurological disorders have been reported as a result of cypermetrhin exposure in guppies, Poecilia reticulata (Polat et al 2002;Yilmaz et al 2004), silver catfish, Rhamdia quelen (Borges 2007). These changes may be attributed to the neurotoxic effect of cypermetrhin by blocking sodium channels and inhibiting the GABA receptors in the nervous filaments which results in an excessive stimulation of the central nervous system that sometimes can lead to brain hypoxia (ElSayed et al 2007).…”

As a new class of agricultural insecticides, synthetic pyrethroids are widely used to control insect pests. Synthetic pyrethroids have been shown to enter the aquatic environment from agricultural runoff or drift from aerial and ground-based spraying applications posing threat to fishes which are less tolerant to pesticides through direct exposure. These insecticides interfere with the sodium channel of the nervous system resulting in prolonged sodium tail current. Widespread application of these chemicals has warranted the attention of the ecologist to understand the impact of these chemicals on the aquatic environment. In this perspective, an updated account of toxicological evaluation of three type II synthetic pyrethroids, viz. deltamethrin, cypermethrin and fenvalerate in terms of their physico-chemical, metabolic, hematological, histological, behavioral and reproductive aspects with respect to the fishes has been presented which may be useful for policy makers, academics, environmental scientists and agricultural professionals needing ready access to this information. The aim of the present synoptic literature appraisal was to summarize the main effect of current use, type II synthetic pyrethroids (deltamethrin, cypermethrin and fenvalerate) on aquatic environment due to their persistence and accumulation. This article will focus on non-target organisms in inland fresh water environment with special reference to fin fishes and will critically evaluate the toxicity of these pyrethroids in terms of growth inhibition, metabolic disorders, neurotoxicity, reproductive failure, enzymatic dysfunction, haematological alterations, and tissue damages. The rationalized information in this milieu may be useful in ecological risk evaluation and human health management as fish serves as an important bio-indicator for aquatic systems health.

“…Cypermethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid is a broad-spectrum insecticide, used extensively in households and industrial and agriculture fields [3] for control of several insect pests [4]. Due to indiscriminate use, cypermethrin makes their entrance into natural water bodies through agriculture run-off and ultimately affects the several nontarget aquatic organisms; for instance, it inhibits growth and several metabolic activities of crustaceans [5], adversely affects fish metabolism [6] and hematology [7], and thus adversely affects fish meat quality and fish population [8].…”

Laboratory evaluations were made to assess the toxicological and biochemical effect of cypermethrin on fingerlings of common edible freshwater culture carp (Labeo rohita). There was a significant negative (P < 0.05) correlation observed between effective doses of cypermethrin and exposure periods; that is, LC50 values decreased from 0.323 μg/L (6 h) to > 0.278 μg/L (12 h), > 0.240 μg/L (18 h) and >0.205 μg/L (24 h). Exposure to sublethal doses of cypermethrin for 24 h and 96 h exposure period caused significant (P < 0.05) time- and dose-dependent alterations in total protein, total free amino acids, nucleic acids, glycogen, pyruvate, and lactate level and in the activity of enzyme protease, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, acid phosphatases, alkaline phosphatases, acetylcholinesterase, and cytochrome oxidase in liver and muscle tissues of fish. Thus, cypermethrin has potent piscicidal activity against fingerlings of fish Labeo rohita and adversely affects their behavioural patterns, shifting aerobic pathway of fish respiration towards anaerobic pathway and also inhibiting energy production by suppressing ATP synthesis.

“…Dissolved oxygen was fixed on 7 to 7.5 ppm, pH: 7 to 7.5, temperature: 20±1 and hardness: 200 ppm. Physical and chemical parameters of water are coincided with Stephenson (1982), Aydin et al (2005) and Yilmaz et al (2004). Fishes were fed twice daily with Biomar feed at 2% body weight, before the test, feeding was stopped 24 h prior to the test and throughout the test.…”
