This just in: Biologists are naming 3 pesticides as harmful salmon including carbaryl, carbofuran and methomyl. This is in addition to three others named late last year: malathion, diazinon and chlorpyrifos.
Carbaryl is also known by the trade name Sevin, which also harms bees as discussed here. It, as well as malathion, is also contained in other products as I found out last year when a reader asked me to look into Bonide Tree Fruit spray. Carbaryl also makes an appearance in lawn care products.
Read more here about this study, the pesticides, the implications, the changes and recommended practices to help keep salmon (among other wildlife) safe.
