P
harmaceutical and personal products (PPCPs) are generated
in lots of amounts all over the world due to the extra needs
of it. It washed into the aquatic habitat and causes the harmful
changes on its ecosystem. Among the aquatic organisms are the
fishes can easily affected by these PPCPs. Acute and chronic
exposure to PPCPs cause many harmful changes in fish vital
functions. Therefore, the overall fish health, its fecundity and
existence can facing the weakness or even stop function. The
acute median lethal concentration (LC50) is varied according
to the composition of PPCPs and the testing organism. The
comparative assessment of PPCPs toxicology is necessary
for its toxicity evaluation. Furthermore, its monitoring in
the aquatic habitat is mandatory for healthy environment.
Therefore, some of recent monitors of PPCPs are highlighted
in freshwater and marine waters. The long term effect of
PPCPs can disturb fish gonadotropins and regress its gonads.
The effect of PPCPs on fish ovaries and testes are assessed in
some of freshwater and marine water fishes. Furthermore,
the PPCPs cause many harmful effects on fish at its early life
stages. Therefore, the PCPs are one of the causative factors
for depressing Global fisheries and disturb its sustainability.
