Pesticide Chemicals Branch of Alberta Environment conducted a monitoring program in 1979 related to two methoxychlor treatments of the Athabasca River for black fly (Simulium arcticum) control.
Resource
The use of methoxychlor in the Athabasca River to control black fly (Diptera: Simuliidae) larvae was monitored in 1980. Effective control of black fly was observed for a distance of 60 km
Resource
Population reductions of non-target organisms in the Athabasca River due to methoxychlor was limited for the May 20/21 treatment but was considerable for the June 19 treatment.
