title: The disposition of carbaryl in the hepatopancreas, haemolymph and embryos of the viviparous scorpion, Heterometrus fulvipes (Koch) during gestation.
abstract: 1. The disposition of carbaryl in the hepatopancreas and haemolymph of maternal animals and embryos of H. fulvipes (scorpion) after administration of a single sublethal dose was studied by g.l.c. 2. High levels of carbaryl were observed in haemolymph at 10 min, and in hepatopancreas at 1 h after administration. About 90% of the residues in the hepatopancreas were eliminated by 24 h. 3. In embryos high levels were noticed 6 h after administration and only 60% of the accumulated carbaryl was eliminated by 24 h. Carbaryl residues were observed in embryos even 1 week after administration.
