Abstrakt:	The article reports on a study which investigated the effect of the insecticide fenitrothion on the densities of mink frogs in the forest ponds of New Brunswick. The authors of the study assessed the frog population in forest ponds that were sprayed repeatedly with fenitrothion insecticide. They then compared the result with forest ponds that were not exposed to fenitrothion. Nine studies of ponds were conducted varying the spray of fenitrothion to low, medium, or high. They noted that mink frogs were the only abundant frogs that allowed comparative analyses. The results showed that there was a low mink frog population in all forest ponds that received repeated spray of fenitrothion insecticides.
