Abstract：
:Continuous subchronic exposure experiments were conducted to assess the effects of diazinon, an organophosphate pesticide, on the survival, growth and activity of larvae of the Asian common toad Bufo melanostictus. Two larval stages, the gill stage (Gosner stages 21 and 22) and gill-atrophy stage (Gosner stages 24 and 25), were continuously exposed to 4 microg/L, 400 mirog/L, and 10 mg/L of commercial-grade diazinon for 30 d. Treatments and untreated controls were maintained in triplicate with water changed and pesticide concentrations renewed every 3 d. Observations showed that subchronic exposure to 400 microg/L and 10 mg/L diazinon caused a significant dose-dependent increase in mortality compared to the control, regardless of the age at which larvae were exposed. One hundred percent mortality was observed in larvae exposed to 10 mg/L. No clear age-related sensitivity was evident in this study. The lethal concentrations at which 50% of the tadpoles (LC50) died during 30 d of continuous exposure were 6 and 7.5 mg/L for gill stage and gill-atrophy stage larvae, respectively. Diazinon impaired larval growth and activity. Tail abnormalities were apparent in larvae exposed to 400 microg/L and 10 mg/L of diazinon. This investigation provides the first empirical evidence of the negative effects of diazinon on the survival, growth and activity of B. melanostictus. The high degree of diazinon toxicity in this study highlights the need to consider important nontarget groups when recommending safe levels of pesticide application.
