Journal ArticleDOI

A critical analysis of the biological impacts of plasticizers on wildlife.

TL;DR: Most plasticizers appear to act by interfering with the functioning of various hormone systems, but some phthalates have wider pathways of disruption, and given the sensitivity of some invertebrates, effects assessments are warranted in other invertebrate phyla.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predicted exposures to steroid estrogens in U.K. rivers correlate with widespread sexual disruption in wild fish populations.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that steroidal estrogens play a major role in causing intersex in wild freshwater fish in rivers in the United Kingdom is supported and it is shown that the location and severity of these endocrine-disrupting effects can be predicted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Harnessing genomics to fast-track genetic improvement in aquaculture.

TL;DR: The authors review how genomics is being applied to aquaculture species at all stages of the domestication process to optimize selective breeding and how combining genomic selection with biotechnological innovations, such as genome editing and surrogate broodstock technologies, may further expedite genetic improvement in Aquaculture.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular mechanisms of toxicity of silver nanoparticles in zebrafish embryos.

TL;DR: The data provide support for the hypothesis that the toxicity caused by silver nanoparticles is principally associated with bioavailable silver ions in exposed zebrafish embryos and are important in the evaluation of the risk that silver particles may pose to exposed vertebrate organisms.
