Summary

The phenylpyrazole insecticide fipronil and its degradates are a potential surface-water contaminant and toxicant to nontarget species such as aquatic macroinvertebrates. To better understand how fipronil, fipronil sulfide, fipronil sulfone, desulfinyl fipronil, and fipronil amide affect aquatic communities, a 30-day mesocosm experiment was run. Rock trays were colonized with natural benthic communities in the Cache La Poudre River in the mountains of northern Colorado and transplanted into a laboratory experimental stream setting. In total, there were 36 experimental streams: 3 controls, 3 solvent controls, and 30 treatments. Water quality metrics and samples for pesticide analysis were collected throughout the experiment. At the [...]

Purpose

These data were collected to better understand the effects of fipronil and fipronil degradates on aquatic communities. This dataset helps fill in gaps in aquatic life benchmarks for fipronil(s) by expanding the number of taxa for which effect concentrations are known and broaden our knowledge of effects of these compounds at the community level.
