Residue Behavior and Risk Assessment of Diazepam and Its Metabolites in Crucian Carp (Carassius auratus) After Oral Administration.

Diazepam (DZP), a benzodiazepine medication, is extensively utilized in both human and veterinary medicine and has been frequently detected in fish populations. The use of DZP-laced bait is identified as a predominant contributor to drug residue contamination in fish. Nonetheless, our understanding of the residue profile of DZP in fish and its potential implications for human health remains constrained.
