Oceanography Dictionary - rotenone | | | Definition and meaning of rotenone: rotenone - a very potent general use pesticide found in the roots and stems of several tropical plants. Jewel vine (Derris spp.), Lacepod (Lonchocarpus spp.), and hoary pea (Tephrosia spp.) are the more common plants from which rotenone is derived. It used in some countries to kill predatory fishes prior to introducing parent fish for natural spawning or newly hatched fry.
