Aquatic Toxicology and Ecotoxicology

Aquatic species have played a significant part in our ecosystem as early warning and monitoring systems for pollutant burdens. They do, however, have the potential to achieve even more, just as they have in basic biology, where preparations like the squid axon have been crucial in defining physiological and biochemical systems. The study of the effects of industrial chemicals, as well as other human and natural materials and activities, on aquatic creatures at all levels of organization, from subcellular to individual organisms to communities and ecosystems, is known as aquatic toxicology. Toxicity, aquatic ecology, and aquatic chemistry are all part of aquatic toxicology, which is a multidisciplinary field. Freshwater, marine water, and sediment habitats are all studied in this subject.

Pesticides and other toxins can harm wild plants and animals if they enter the natural environment. Ecotoxicology is the science that studies these impacts. Ecology, toxicology, physiology, analytical chemistry, molecular biology, and mathematics are all used in ecotoxicology. The effects of pollutants such as pesticides on individuals, populations, natural communities, and ecosystems are studied in ecotoxicology. Ecosystems are made up of communities of living organisms and the surroundings in which they reside. Ponds, rivers, deserts, grasslands, and woods are among ecosystems that might be damaged by pesticides. Ecotoxicologists also investigate what happens to pesticides, such as where they end up in the environment, how long they last, and how they eventually degrade. Ecotoxicologists typically work on tracing the metabolism, accumulation, and movement of natural and manmade toxins via food chains.
