title: Primary production: Depression of oxygen evolution in algal cultures by organophosphorus insecticides.
abstract: Photosynthesis of four estuarine phytoplankters was inhibited by Baytex and Abate (organophosphates), Baygon (carbamate) and DDT (chlorinated hydrocarbon). Responses varied with the algal species and with the insecticide. The order from most to least toxic insecticide was Baytex, Baygon, DDT, Abate and the order from least to most sensitive alga wasC. nana,P. cornutum=S. costatum,D. euchlora.
