Treatment of a small lake with 140 g fenitrothion/ha had little overall impact on the lake biota. Little pesticide reached the deeper parts of the lake and persistence in surface waters was approximately one week. Fish caged at the surface accumulated moderate quantities of fenitrothrion without apparent affects, and fish below the thermocline accumulated little more than trace amounts.
