Sublethal effects of mosquito larvcides on nontarget invertebrate and vertebrate larvae. First quarterly report for the period July 1, to September 30, 1990

Abstract

This investigation was undertaken to assess the acute and sublethaltoxicity of the mosquito larvicides, abate (temephos) and altosid (methoprene), on non-target invertebrate and vertebrate larvae in saltmarsh environments under a mosquito abatement program. Activities from July 1 through September 30, 1990, represent the first quarterly report period for the 1990 - 1991 project.
