Description
Summary:•Several water quality parameters were significantly decreased in the sumithion treated ponds.•Seven genera of benthic invertebrates belonging to Chironomidae, Oligochaeta and Mollusca were identified over the experimental period.•The abundances of benthic invertebrates were significantly decreased in the sumithion treated ponds. This experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of an organophosphate pesticide, sumithion on water and sediment quality and benthic invertebrates in aquaculture ponds for 120 days. Three treatments were tried in duplicate: no sumithion (control), weekly application of 1.0mg/L sumithion (Low dose treatment) and 2.0mg/L sumithion (High dose treatment). Among the different water quality parameters, transparency, NO3–N and PO4–P concentrations were significantly (p
