AbstractA study was conducted to know the impact of abamectin and lambda-cyhalothrin on aquatic insect, zooplankton and benthos populations in commercial aquaculture ponds. Accordingly, the ponds under commercial aquaculture located in Poba upazila of Rajshahi, Bangladesh were selected that had similar and commonly accepted management practices. Abamectin and lambda-cyhalothrin were used at 0.7 and 0.5µg/liter of pond water. Water and soil samples from the pond bottom was collected for analysis. Sampling for aquatic insects, zooplankton and benthos was done before treatments and on days 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 21 and 28 following the treatments. No fish mortality was recorded in either of these treatments. A decline of 80%, 49% and 56% respectively in water insect, zooplankton and benthos count were found in abamectin treatment. Treatment of lambda-cyhalothrin caused 93%, 60% and 79% decline respectively in water insect, zooplankton and benthos numbers. Along with the decline in number, diversity loss for aquatic insects and zooplankton was also observed in both treatments. Diversity count did not recover to the pretreatment level within the observation period of 28 days.
