Since the early 2000s, biotic ligand models and related constructs have been a dominant
paradigm for risk assessment of aqueous metals in the environment. We critically review 1) …

Efforts to incorporate bioavailability adjustments into regulatory water quality criteria in the
United States have included four major procedures: hardness‐based single‐linear …

Homeostasis and Toxicology of Essential Metals synthesizes the explosion of new
information on the molecular, cellular, and organismal handling of metals in fish in the past …

In pristine natural waters, silver (Ag) occurs at low ng L− 1 levels, rising to 1000-fold at highly
contaminated sites. The free ion Ag+ appears to be the sole cause of acute toxicity in …

Copper (Cu) exists in a variety of forms in different aquatic environments, and affects their
bioavailability. In this study we provide a systematic review on toxicity of Cu which focuses …

The individual toxicity and bioaccumulation of cadmium, copper and zinc for common carp
juveniles was evaluated in a direct comparison in two experimental setups. First, fish were …

There is increasing evidence that sunscreen, more specifically the organic ultra-violet filters
(O-UVFs), are toxic for aquatic organisms. In the present study, we simulated an …

Chemosensory perception is crucial for fish reproduction and survival. Direct contact of
olfactory neuroepithelium to the surrounding environment makes it vulnerable to …

The olfactory system of fish comprises several classes of olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs).
The odourants l-alanine and taurocholic acid (TCA) specifically activate microvillous or …

Studies have shown that olfactory-mediated behaviors that are critical to survival can be
disrupted by exposure to certain metals. Polluted waterways often contain elevated levels of …
