The Impact of Microplastic Pollution on the Reproduction and Development of Marine Fish: A Case Study of Zebrafish
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers investigated how microplastic exposure affects zebrafish reproduction and offspring development, finding disruptions to gonadal tissue, reduced fertilization rates, and developmental abnormalities in embryos, offering a controlled model for understanding plastic pollution risks to marine fish populations.
Toxicity and behavioral response of zebrafish exposed to combined microplastic and bisphenol analogues
AI summary Read the abstract
Co-exposure of zebrafish larvae to polystyrene microplastics combined with bisphenol A or F increased larval lethality by 7–51% compared to either pollutant alone, while also causing stronger behavioral effects including reduced movement and activity. This synergistic toxicity — not seen in embryos — highlights the danger of treating microplastics and chemical contaminants as independent hazards, since real-world exposures are always mixed.
Microplastics induce polycystic ovary syndrome in zebrafish
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers exposed zebrafish to microplastics and found the particles induced polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)-like conditions, suggesting this aquatic model could offer new approaches for assessing microplastic risks to women's reproductive health.
Simulated Environmental Nanoplastics Induce Zebrafish Developmental Toxicity and Stress Response
AI summary Read the abstract
Scientists exposed zebrafish embryos to nanoplastics that were specially broken down to mimic how plastic actually degrades in oceans and rivers, and found they caused more harm than the lab-made plastic beads typically used in research, stunting growth, slowing hatching, and triggering stress hormone spikes even at very low doses. Because these effects showed up at concentrations similar to what's found in real water sources, the findings suggest current safety testing may be underestimating the risks nanoplastics pose to both aquatic life and, potentially, to people who drink that water or eat seafood from it.
Multi-omic Approach on the Ecotoxicological Assessment of Microplastics, Antibiotics and Their Co-exposure to Zebrafish
AI summary Read the abstract
This PhD thesis investigated co-exposure effects of microplastics and antibiotics on zebrafish using multi-omic approaches, examining transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic responses. Combined exposure produced more complex molecular disruption than either stressor alone, with interactions affecting gut microbiome composition and host metabolic phenotype.
