Laboratory studies have shown that lambda-cyhalothrin ( Warrior ) is toxic to fish ; however , some studies report low field toxicities of pyrethroids to fish because they degrade rapidly and adsorb to soil . We tested whether Warrior kills mosquitofish under field conditions . Replicated enclosures in a rice field were either sprayed with Warrior at 0 . 0 g active ingredient/ha or were untreated . Mosquitofish were either added before the spray , or 0 days later . Of those added before the spray , none survived . Most fish added 0 days later survived .
