摘要 In this research, the single and combined toxicity effects of two commonly used pesticides, lambda-cyhalothrin and deltamethrin, were investigated on zebrafish at 20 ℃, with a weight of (1±0.1) g and a length of (3.5±0.35) cm. The study revealed that lambda-cyhalothrin exhibited higher toxicity compared to deltamethrin. Additionally, when used together, these pesticides showed significantly increased toxic effects on zebrafish. The 96-h LC50 values were determined to be 3.059 μg/L (confidence limits 0.077-0.351 μg/L) for lambda-cyhalothrin and 1.304 μg/L (confidence limits; 0.046-0.228 μg/L) for deltamethrin, both demonstrating a significant positive correlation (P<0.05). These results underscore the importance of regulating and managing pesticide use to safeguard aquatic organisms and uphold environmental sustainability.
