Pesticide Induced Neurotoxicity and Fish Behaviour
Journal Title: Advances in Clinical Toxicology - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Contaminant induced neurotoxicity can produce a variety of effects encompassing the altered behaviour. Changes in behaviour are among commonly used biomarkers having potential to link biochemical effects to ecological outcomes of environmental pollution. Inaquatictoxicologystudies, pesticide caused neurotoxicity and behavioural changes in fish have been the subject of many investigations due to the implications of pesticide triggered neurotoxicity for fish behaviour is of vital importance with eventual consequences at population level.
