BPA Exposure Inhibits Growth and Impairs Reproduction in Economically Important Fish

This study found that bisphenol A (BPA) exposure significantly impacted the growth and gonadal development of L. polyactis. Effects were clearly dose-dependent, time-dependent, and gender-specific, with long-term low-dose exposure posing a greater threat.

Researchers exposed 30-day-old L. polyactis fish to three concentrations of BPA (1, 50, and 500 μg·L-1) or a control for 60 days. They assessed survival, growth, gonadosomatic index, and histological changes to understand BPA's impact.

The abstract focuses on findings; it does not give personal how-to steps.

This 60-day immersion study investigated the effects of BPA on L. polyactis, an economically important fish. It examined growth and gonadal development, including a 60-day recovery period, providing a basis for water pollution control strategies.
