Evaluation of behavioral changes as an endpoint in toxicity testing

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Fish toxicity tests are used to assess potential risks to fish and other aquatic species and for other ecological regulatory needs associated with surface water contaminants. However, these tests are mostly designed to use traditional ecological endpoints (e.g. mortality, reproduction, or fitness indices). Including behavioural endpoints in ecotoxicity studies has several benefits, because it provides a connection from molecular and physiological processes to population-level processes and it is also a sensitive ‘early warning signal’ of chemical contamination since behavioural responses can occur at low levels of contamination. This review aimed to sum up the most common behavioural patterns in fish that can be affected by pollutants and introduce methods how to measure such alterations. Many toxicants can disrupt complex fish behaviours, such as predator avoidance, and reproductive, and social behaviours. Recent technological progress has made it possible to affordably obtain, interpret, and apply behavioural endpoints in various applications from water quality monitoring to toxicity identification evaluation.
