2. What is Piscicide ?
A piscicide is a chemical substance
which is poisonous to fish. The primary
use for piscicides is to eliminate a
dominant species of fish in a body of
water, as the first step in attempting to
populate the body of water with a
different fish. They are also used to
combat parasitic and invasive species
of fish. Examples of piscicides include
rotenone, saponins, TFM, niclosamide
and Antimycin A (Fintrol).
Piscicides are chemicals used to
kill fish. They can be used in a
variety of aquatic environments
including lakes and rivers. There
are four chemical piscicides
registered for use in the United
States
