Concerns are being expressed recently over possible environmental effects of human pharmaceuticals. Although the likelihood of acute toxicity is low, the continuous discharge of pharmaceuticals into the aquatic environment means that sublethal effects on non-target organisms need to be seriously considered. One-year-old Atlantic salmon parr were exposed to 7.85±0.13μgL(-1) of the antidepressant drug Carbamazepine (CBZ) for five days to investigate changes of mRNA expression in the brain by… CONTINUE READING
