Article Synopsis
- The Fundão dam collapse in Brazil released toxic mining tailings into the Doce River, leading to significant environmental contamination.
- Six years post-collapse, a study examined the effects of contaminated sediments on Danio rerio embryos, revealing high mortality and low hatching rates linked to exposure sites.
- Key biomarkers indicated neurotoxicity and developmental malformations in embryos, suggesting long-term impacts on fish populations and ecosystem sustainability in the affected areas.
Biomarker responses induced by bisphenol A on spermatogenesis in a Neotropical teleost fish are temperature-dependent.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an organic synthetic compound used in the plastic industry with endocrine disrupting activity. Although it is frequently found in surface waters, few studies have investigated its impact on fish gametogenesis, particularly when associated with natural stressors. In this regard, the present study evaluated BPA toxicity on spermatogenesis in the lambari Astyanax bimaculatus under controlled conditions and its interactive effects with water temperature.
