Intense Toxicity and Effects of Malathion Pesticides to Fresh Water Prawn Macrobrachium Dayanum

Abstract
Pesticide toxicity poses a serious hazard to aquatic creatures and their habitat. At a fatal dose (LC50) of 8.0 mg/L, malathion was discovered in the current investigation to be acutely poisonous to Macrobrachium dayanum. For sublethal investigations, 0.8 mg/L, or one-tenth of the LC50 value, was used. Lethal concentration values (LC50) are falling. The shrimp exhibited odd behaviour such as irregular and choppy swimming, efforts to leap out of the water, surfacing and repeated swallowing, reduced opercular movement, and excessive mucus production all over the body. The effectiveness of aquatic ecosystems and the level of pollution may both be monitored through this monitoring.
