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.
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.
Bioaccumulation and Toxic Effects of Micro- and Nanoplastics in Zebrafish: A Critical Review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers comprehensively reviewed micro- and nanoplastic bioaccumulation and toxicity in zebrafish, finding that these particles accumulate in digestive organs, gills, liver, and brain, inducing oxidative stress, developmental delays, neurotoxicity, and transgenerational reproductive impairments that highlight broad ecological risks.
Recent advances of microplastics toxicity and fate on zebrafish-a review
AI summary Read the abstract
This review synthesizes evidence on how micro- and nanoplastics cause developmental, reproductive, gastrointestinal, and oxidative stress toxicity in zebrafish, positioning the species as a valuable vertebrate model for understanding plastic pollutant effects across trophic levels. Zebrafish research is accelerating mechanistic understanding of how microplastics harm vertebrate biology, providing insights relevant to assessing risks for fish-eating wildlife and humans.
