\"\"(Beyond Pesticides<\/em>, November 6, 2019) Between 1981 and 1992, Japanese fishers annually reaped an average of 240 tons of smelt from Lake Shinji. After 1993, their nets turned up about 22 tons \u2013 a 90% drop in their yield. Eel catches dropped by 74%. New research, published in the journal Science<\/a><\/em>, implicates the introduction of neonicotinoids to the abutting watershed in the decimation of these aquatic populations, stating, \u201cIn Lake Shinji, neonicotinoids indirectly reduced fishery yields by decreasing the abundance of invertebrates that serve as food for smelt and eels.\u201d<\/p>\n

Researchers analyzed decades of data on zooplankton, midges, and water quality as well as annual fishery yields of eel and smelt spanning from 1981-2014. Zooplankton biomass, an important fodder for smelt, plummeted from 108 \u00b5g C L\u22121<\/sup> to 18.2 \u00b5g C L\u22121<\/sup> after imidacloprid was introduced for use on rice paddies in May of 1993. Midges (Cyathura muromiensis<\/em>) that were found in abundance in 1982 totally disappeared from all sample sites by 2016. While the smelt and eel populations drastically declined, the authors note that icefish, which eat a more diversified diet, were not impacted. Though researchers considered the possibilities of other influencing factors such as invasive species, hypoxia, and changes in fish stocking, they did not relate to the observations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis study, although observational, presents compelling evidence,\u201d Professor Olaf Jensen, PhD of Rutgers University, a scientist unaffiliated with the study, told The Guardian<\/a>,<\/em> \u201cA fishery that was sustainable for decades collapsed within a year after farmers began using neonicotinoids. This is a large and astoundingly fast response.\u201d<\/p>\n

This research provides yet another illustration of how pesticides cause ripple effects through ecosystem structures; an ecological phenomenon known as a trophic cascade. Drew Toher of Beyond Pesticides notes in \u201cPesticide Use Harming Key Species Ripples through the Ecosystem<\/a>\u201d that, \u201cIn both still and fast-moving aquatic environments, pesticides act powerfully on the foundational levels of the food web.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trophic cascades are not limited to aquatic environments, of course. As an avian example, French researchers recently pointed to the decline of insects<\/a> (estimated at about -80%) as the main cause for the dramatic collapse of bird species in their countryside over the last decade \u2013 declines measured at over a third, and in some cases two-thirds.<\/p>\n

Rachel Carson sparked monumental change in the 1960\u2019s as she called out the role of toxic pesticides in ecosystem collapse with her seminal work, Silent Spring.<\/em> Despite the positive influence her work had on illuminating the problem of environmental contaminants, her ominous predictions are being invoked in observational research. Yamamuro et al. end their paper with a reference to Carson, \u201cShe wrote: \u2018These sprays, dusts and aerosols are now applied almost universally to farms, gardens, forests and homes \u2013 nonselective chemicals that have the power to kill every insect, the \u2018good\u2019 and the \u2018bad\u2019, to still the song of birds and the leaping of fish in the streams.\u2019 The ecological and economic impact of neonicotinoids on the inland waters of Japan confirms Carson\u2019s prophecy.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is plenty of evidence that toxic pesticides are causing cascading crises and plunging us into a future devoid of the richness that unpolluted ecosystems offer. We stand, as Carson once said<\/a>, at a crossroad. Beyond Pesticides continues to advocate for organic<\/a> farming as a healthy and economically viable alternative for people and the planet. While chemical-intensive agriculture is currently a major driver of biodiversity loss worldwide, organic practices can, conversely, bolster wild populations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides.

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions which affect them directly.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/beyond-pesticides\/","https:\/\/x.com\/ByondPesticides","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/bpncamp\/"],"url":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/author\/beyond-pesticides\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25889","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25889"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25889\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25901,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25889\/revisions\/25901"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25889"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25889"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25889"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
