Fenvalerate (FV) is widely used in aquaculture because of their broad spectrums and high efficiency. However, little is known regarding the elimination of FV influenced by environment factors in aquaculture water, especially its cis-trans isomers (cis-FV and trans-FV). In the present study, factors influencing the aquaculture environment (open type, temperature, pH and light) were selected, and the elimination dynamics of FV and its cis-trans isomers in aquaculture water using orthogonal experiments were investigated. The results showed that the half-life and elimination rate range of FV were 4.75–11.95 days and 65–93%, respectively, while those of trans-FV were 4.60–11.82 days and 67–93% and those of cis-FV were 4.94–12.04 days and 64–92%, respectively. The elimination rate of trans-FV was better than that of cis-FV. Additionally, analysis of variance (ANOVA) of the orthogonal experimental data indicated that the environmental factors of open type, temperature, and pH significantly influenced the elimination rate of cis- and trans-FV (P < 0.05), that is, in the aquaculture season, high temperature and pH facilitate to eliminate FV. This study would improve our understanding of natural degradation associated with FV and guide safe to use associated with pesticide in aquaculture.
