Use of Gammarus sp. for toxicity testing. A case study with the growth regulator insecticide fenoxycarb

Description

Gammarus sp. (Amphipoda) are widely distributed across European freshwater systems. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of a fenoxycarb exposure on Gammarus sp.. More specifically, i) we assessed the sensitivity of the embryo stage, ii) we identified embryogenesis' sensitive period, iii) we evaluated the sensitivity of the reproductive period and iv) we compared the response to fenoxycarb exposure among three European gammarid species. Fenoxycarb is a growth regulator insecticide, analog of the insect juvenile hormone, used for pest management and for veterinary purpose. This study demonstrated that 5 and 50 µg L
