How Is Toxicology Research Conducted in Fisheries?
Toxicologists employ a variety of methods to study the impact of pollutants on fisheries. Laboratory experiments, field studies, and modeling approaches are used to assess the toxicity of contaminants. Biomarkers, such as enzyme activity changes and genotoxicity indicators, are commonly used to identify sub-lethal effects in fish. These studies provide data that inform regulatory standards and guidelines for safe levels of contaminants in aquatic environments.
