The paper outlines a 2-tier approach for wide-scale biomonitoring programmes. To obtain a
high level of standardization, we suggest the use of caged organisms (mussels or fish). An …

In this paper, evidence from the current literature is presented that addresses either of two
questions: 1) do EDCs in the aquatic environment have the potential to impact the …

Each year ecotoxicological problems become increasingly complex and encompass
broader spatial and temporal scales. Our practical understanding must evolve accordingly to …

Although frequently examined as a target organ for non-endocrine toxicity, histopathological
evaluation of the liver is becoming a routine component of endocrine disruption studies that …

Microplastic fibers (MFs) pollute aquatic habitats globally via sewage release, stormwater
runoff, or atmospheric deposition. Of the synthetic MFs, polyester (PES) and polypropylene …

Plastic pollution poses a global threat to aquatic organisms, yet its effect on many species
remains poorly documented and understood. This study addresses the impact caused by …

Two mathematical methods to assess the “health status” of flounder (Platichthys flesus),

Methylmercury is a potent toxic present in Amazonian fish species due to gold mining
activities. In the present work, we investigated the morphological effects of methylmercury in …

Trahira (Hoplias malabaricus) used to investigate the effects of successive Pb (II) or
