Populations of plants and animals, including humans, living in close proximity to abandoned
uranium mine sites are vulnerable to uranium exposure through drainage into nearby …

Experiments on adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) were conducted to assess histopathological
effects induced on gill, muscle, and gonadal tissues after waterborne uranium exposure …

Uranium is an actinide naturally found in the environment. Anthropogenic activities lead to
the release of increasing amounts of uranium and depleted uranium (DU) in the …

In this study, we investigated the effects of the radioactive metal uranium (U) on the
embryonic development, hatching success, growth rate, and survival of juvenile zebrafish …

The increasing demand for nuclear energy results in heightened levels of uranium (U) in
aquatic systems which present a potential health hazard to resident organisms. The aim of …

The contamination of uranium in aquatic ecosystems has raised growing global concern.
However, the understanding of its chronic effects on aquatic organisms is limited, particularly …

Because of its toxicity and its ubiquity within aquatic compartments, uranium (U) represents
a significant hazard to aquatic species such as fish. In a previous study, we investigated …

Uranium is a radioactive element that is widely present in aquatic environment. However,
limited knowledge is available about the effect of uranium on thyroid system, which plays a …

Despite the well-characterized occurrence of uranium (U) in the aquatic environment, very
little is known about the chronic exposure of fish to low levels of U and its potential effect on …

Exposure to metal‐contaminated water has been shown to result in a number of
reproductive abnormalities in adult and larvae fish, such as failure of oocyte maturation and …
