TL;DR: It is concluded that zebrafish larvae can indeed be regarded as independently feeding from 120 h after fertilization, and should thus be subject to regulations for animal experiments from 120H after fertilized onwards.

TL;DR: Fluorescence tracking of benzo[a]pyrene indicates that food‐borne microplastic‐associated POPs may actually desorb in the intestine of fish and are thus transferred to the intestinal epithelium and liver.

TL;DR: Results document that the transfer of the protocol is possible with only minor modifications and examples are given as to how additional endpoints can be incorporated into the fish embryo test protocol to extend its scope, e.g. to sediment toxicity assessment or genotoxicity and mutagenicity testing.

TL;DR: The goal was to review the state of the science regarding the investigation of fish embryonic tests, pain and distress in fish, emerging approaches utilizing fish embryos, and the use of fish embryo toxicity test data in various types of environmental assessments.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the state-of-the-science on microplastics types and particle concentrations in freshwater ecosystems, MP and nanoplastics uptake and tissue translocation, MP/NP-induced effects in freshwater organisms, and capabilities of MP and NP to modulate the toxicity of environmental chemicals.
