Introduction 1.1 Background to application This Best Practicable Environmental Option (BPEO) assessment supports an application for a sea disposal licence under the Marine (Scotland) Act 2010, Part 4, Marine licensing. The purpose of this application is to ensure that all possible options are available as a treatment disposal method which in turn allows greater flexibility and allows all options for the fish to have an effective treatment when needed. The sites currently use tarpaulin treatments to administer any necessary sea lice medicines however as a responsible operator we are ensuring that all treatment methods are available to use to use to ensure best welfare of the stock. 1.2 Source of materials List the treatment products you wish to discharge following treatment.

  • 4. Chemical and Physical Information
    PYRETHRINS AND PYRETHROIDS 131 4. CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL INFORMATION 4.1 CHEMICAL IDENTITY The naturally-occurring pyrethrins, extracted from chrysanthemum flowers, are esters of chrysanthemic acid (Pyrethrin I, Cinerin I, and Jasmolin I) and esters of pyrethric acid (Pyrethrin II, Cinerin II, and Jasmolin II). In the United States, the pyrethrum extract is standardized as 45–55% w/w total pyrethrins. The typical proportion of Pyrethrins I to II is 0.2:2.8, while the ratio of pyrethrins:cinerins:jasmolins is 71:21:7 (Tomlin 1997). Information regarding the chemical identity of the pyrethrins is presented in Table 4-1. Pyrethroids are synthetic esters derived from the naturally-occurring pyrethrins. One exception to the axiom that all pyrethroids are esters of carboxylic acids is noteworthy. There is a group of oxime ethers that exhibits insecticidal activity similar in nature to the pyrethrins and pyrethroid esters (Davies 1985). Little data exist regarding these compounds, and no commercial products have been produced. Commercially available pyrethroids include allethrin, bifenthrin, bioresmethrin, cyfluthrin, cyhalothrin, cypermethrin, deltamethrin, esfenvalerate (fenvalerate), flucythrinate, flumethrin, fluvalinate, fenpropathrin, permethrin, phenothrin, resmethrin, tefluthrin, tetramethrin, and tralomethrin. Information regarding the chemical identity of pyrethroids is shown in Table 4-2. With the exception of deltamethrin, pyrethroids are a complex mixture of isomers rather than one single pure compound. For pyrethroids possessing the cyclopropane moiety, isomerism about the cyclopropane ring greatly influences the toxicity of these insecticides. The presence of two chiral centers in the ring results in two pairs of diastereomers. The diastereomers and their nonsuperimposable mirror images (enantiomers) are illustrated in Figure 4-1.

  • Monitoring for Resistance to Organophosphorus and Pyrethroid Insecticides in Varroa Mite Populations
    INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE AND RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT Monitoring for Resistance to Organophosphorus and Pyrethroid Insecticides in Varroa Mite Populations 1,2 3 1 4 LAMBERT H. B. KANGA, JOHN ADAMCZYK, KEITH MARSHALL, AND ROBERT COX J. Econ. Entomol. 103(5): 1797Ð1802 (2010); DOI: 10.1603/EC10064 ABSTRACT The occurrence of resistance in Varroa mite populations is a serious threat to the beekeeping industry and to crops that rely on the honey bee for pollination. Integrated pest management strategies for control of this pest include the judicious use of insecticides. To monitor Þeld populations of Varroa mite for insecticide resistance, a glass vial bioassay procedure was developed to use in the development of a resistance management strategy. Diagnostic concen- trations needed to separate susceptible genotypes from resistant individuals were determined for cypermethrin (0.1 ␮g per vial), ßuvalinate (5.0 ␮g per vial), malathion (0.01 ␮g per vial), coumaphos (10.0 ␮g per vial), diazinon (5.0 ␮g per vial), methomyl (0.5 ␮g per vial), propoxur (0.1 ␮g per vial), and endosulfan (2.5 ␮g per vial). Resistance to organophosphorus insecticides (malathion, coumaphos) and pyrethroids (cypermetrhrin, ßuvalinate) was widespread in both La Media Ranch, TX, and Wewahitchka, FL, from 2007 to 2009. There was no resistance to endosulfan, diazinon, methomyl, and propoxur in Þeld populations of Varroa mite in the two locations where resistance was monitored. The seasonal patterns of resistance in Wewahitchka were different from those of La Media Ranch. In the former location, the frequency of resistance to all insecticides tested decreased signiÞcantly from 2007 to 2009, whereas it increased in the latter location.

  • Managing Pests Around the Home Suggestions for the General Public
    Home Pest Control Rev. 2/14 Managing Pests Around the Home Suggestions for the General Public What are household pests? Most household pests are insects and are commonly called "bugs." Other organisms such as spiders, scorpions, centipedes, millipedes, ticks, sowbugs, pillbugs, mites, rats, mice, snakes, bats, squirrels, birds, molds and fungi may enter homes. In Tennessee, one or more of about 40 common pests are found in every home at one time or another. Even the most conscientious person cannot always avoid an occasional pest infestation. Where are these pests found? Under optimal conditions, large populations of an insect, rodent or other pest can occur in your yard, home, farm or neighborhood. Large numbers of a pest species can develop in trees, stumps, flower beds, mulch, leaf litter, garbage, wood piles, ditch banks, animal carcasses, stored products, spilled materials, sewer lines and other sites. Pests enter homes through openings in the walls, floors, around pipes or cracks, under doors or windows. Pests seeking shelter build nests or hibernate within the walls, attic or in living quarters. What attracts them to your home? Pests are attracted by light, warm air, moisture and food. Odors from a dead bird, rodent, dead insects or nest in a wall, soured mop or spilled materials can also be attractive. They seek protection and shelter in dark cavities in walls or crawl spaces. What can I do to prevent pest problems in my home? Luckily, many pests are easily controlled. This publication will explain how to manage the most common household pests found in Tennessee. We have placed special importance on controlling pests by limiting their access to food, water and shelter.

  • 7. Analytical Methods
    PYRETHRINS AND PYRETHROIDS 205 7. ANALYTICAL METHODS The purpose of this chapter is to describe the analytical methods that are available for detecting, measuring, and/or monitoring pyrethrins and pyrethroids, its metabolites, and other biomarkers of exposure and effect to pyrethrins and pyrethroids. The intent is not to provide an exhaustive list of analytical methods. Rather, the intention is to identify well-established methods that are used as the standard methods of analysis. Many of the analytical methods used for environmental samples are the methods approved by federal agencies and organizations such as EPA and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Other methods presented in this chapter are those that are approved by groups such as the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) and the American Public Health Association (APHA). Additionally, analytical methods are included that modify previously used methods to obtain lower detection limits and/or to improve accuracy and precision. 7.1 BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS Exposure to pyrethrins and pyrethroids is most commonly evaluated by the analysis of urine and blood using gas chromatography (GC) combined with electron capture detection (ECD), flame ionization detection (FID), or mass spectrometry (MS) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with ultraviolet (UV) detector. Recovery is generally high, and sensitivity is in the parts per billion (ppb) range. A simple and rapid method for the isolation of synthetic pyrethroids using a solid phase extraction method is described by Junting and Chichang (1991). A similar method that employs HPLC for analysis was used to quantify pyrethrins in plasma by Wintersteiger et al.
