Recent Scenario of Impact of Xenobiotics on Marine Fish: An Overview

Pharmacognosy Journal 2020 3 citations

AI summary Read the abstract

This literature review examines the impacts of xenobiotics, from industrial chemicals to plastics, on marine fish biological processes. The review integrates research on endocrine disruption, reproductive effects, and toxicological responses across multiple marine fish species.

Xenobiotics from chemicals to plastics have seriously interfered with the biological process of living system. Their impact on aquatic ecosystem, fish in precise is studied with significant interest. However, studies on impact of xenobiotics on marine fish are limited. This literature review integrates and summarizes the impact of xenobiotics on marine fish. The review tries to understand the impact of macro and micro litters, microplastic, metals like mercury and nanoparticles. Finally, we conclude with the ways to regulate the presence and distribution of these xenobiotics in marine environment.
