Abstract
Endosulfan, polycyclic organochlorine pesticide contaminating aquatic ecosystem as a potential toxic pollutants, was investigated in the present study for acute toxicity. The immature and adult gastropods Lymnaea Radix cor were selected for the bioassay experiments. The 96 h LC50 were determined for the both stages. Data obtained from endosulfan acute toxicity tests were evaluated using the Probit Analysis Statistical Program. The 96h LC50 values for immature and adult snails were estimated as, (0.38) and (0.91) mg/l, respectively.
