Laboratory research in toxicology has progressed far beyond reliance on measures of mortality to make use of sophisticated behavioral preparations that can evaluate the consequences of sublethal toxicant exposure. In contrast, field studies have not evolved as rapidly. Approaches developed by experimental psychologists and ethologists provide powerful and complementary methodologies to the stud...

conclusions in conclusion, toxicological studies showed that, although contamination level in caspian sea fishes was relatively low, the present status might pose a risk about food chain contamination. results the review showed that nine studies were recorded in databases about pesticide residues in caspian sea fish tissues. these studies reported that there is limited evidence of organochlorin...

Light-stick is a light attractor used in longline fishing which is often dumped or lost into the ocean after used, becoming a potential pollutant to marine organisms. In the present study, toxicity was evaluated by exposing Artemia to light-stick contents. The effects were observed on the survival of nauplii and hatchability of cysts. The LC50 was 0.063mLL−1 after 24h of exposure, whilst hatcha...
