Figure 39. <strong>Carbaryl</strong> exposure concentrations <strong>and</strong> salmonid assessment endpoints’ effect<br />

concentrations in µg/L<br />

<strong>Carbofuran</strong><br />

Concentration ranges overlap with most of the assessment endpoint ranges, indicating that<br />

adverse effects are expected in salmonids if exposed for a sufficient duration (Figure 40).<br />

Salmonid prey items appear just as sensitive to carbofuran as to carbarylalthough significant<br />

variation among prey species was observed in reported acute survival EC/LC 50s. Fish<br />

reproduction, swimming <strong>and</strong> salmonid olfactory-mediated behaviors are encompassed or<br />

exceeded by all three exposure ranges. The fish growth value (56 µg/L LOEC) was exceeded by<br />

the off-channel habitat concentrations. Salmonid survival was the least sensitive response<br />

reviewed. As with carbaryl, concentrations of carbofuran occurring in the off-channel habitats<br />

that NMFS modeled will kill juvenile salmonids. Furthermore, given the LC50 values for<br />

salmonids following 96 h exposures, we expect that fewer deaths of juveniles will occur in many<br />

of the freshwater habitats exposed to carbofuran. As with carbaryl, we note that pH is a major<br />
