The Department of Environmental Science is offering a grant to study the acute and chronic toxicity of two newly registered herbicides, imazamox and penoxsulam, on Delta Smelt. The research involves bioassays to test the endocrine effects of these herbicides on Delta Smelt’s life stages, focusing on androgenic and estrogenic impacts. Initial tests will use Japanese Medaka, with subsequent tests on Delta Smelt pending Medaka results. Water samples will be chemically analyzed to determine herbicide concentrations. This grant aims to assess the potential harm of these herbicides on the Delta Smelt population.

| Description: | The project will consist of toxicity testing of 2 newly registered herbicides, imazamox and penoxsulam on Delta Smelt. Two bioassays will be performed to determine if the herbicides have any effects on the endocrine function (androgenic and estrogenic) of delta smelt during their life history. A preliminary will utilize the Japanese Medaka to determine endocrine effects of these low-toxicity chemicals and secondary endocrine tests with delta smelt will be applied based on the robustness of Medaka results. Water samples will be submitted to chemical analysis to determine concentrations of herbicides. |
