Summary

This work applies bioinformatics and integrative computational approaches to aquatic toxicology, enabling researchers to model how pollutants including microplastics affect gene expression, metabolic pathways, and ecosystem-level responses in aquatic organisms. Integrating molecular and ecological data accelerates identification of the biological mechanisms by which microplastics harm aquatic life, strengthening the scientific basis for regulatory standards that protect both ecosystems and human health.

Aquatic ecosystems are crucial for maintaining ecological balance, yet they are increasingly threatened by pollutants such as pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, microplastics, and industrial chemicals. Aquatic toxicology plays a vital role in assessing and mitigating...
