TL;DR: It is suggested that a more complete genomics toolbox for F. heteroclitus and related species will permit researchers to exploit the power of this model organism to rapidly advance the understanding of fundamental biological and pathological mechanisms among vertebrates, as well as ecological strategies and evolutionary processes common to all living organisms.

TL;DR: Beta-sitosterol reduces the gonadal steroid biosynthetic capacity through effects on cholesterol availability or the activity of the side chain cleavage enzyme P450SCC, which could be a contributing factor to the reproductive dysfunction observed in fish exposed to BKME.

TL;DR: This meta-analysis represented a first attempt to consider the size of the effect of pollution on parasites, and highlighted the potential of susceptible parasite taxa, communities, and functional groups for use in the biological assessment of pollution.

TL;DR: It can be concluded that effluent from all types of mill processes are capable of affecting fish reproduction and that any improvements could not be attributed to a specific process modification (because mills normally performed multiple modifications simultaneously).

TL;DR: A short‐term gonadal recrudescence test with the estuarine mummichog and endocrine end points sensitive to a strong estrogen agonist and an antiestrogen are determined at concentrations of 0 to 1,000 ng/L in three separate experiments to ensure a year‐round supply of recrudescing fish.
