The effects of exposure to methidathion on the gill respiration rate of Procambarus clarkii were determined by using a Gilson differential respirometer. P. clarkii was exposed to LC50-96h, 1/5 LC50-96h and 1/10 LC50-96h for 0, 24, 48, 72 and 96h. Only the LC50 value, measured after 96h, was found to significantly increase the oxygen consumption rate (p < 0.05). Changes in oxygen consumption caused by the solvent are also discussed.
