Salinity Alters Toxicity of Commonly Used Pesticides in a Model Euryhaline Fish Species (Menidia beryllina) [PDF]
Changing salinity in estuaries due to sea level rise and altered rainfall patterns, as a result of climate change, has the potential to influence the interactions of aquatic pollutants as well as to alter their toxicity. From a chemical property point of

Fluctuating asymmetry in Menidia beryllina before and after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. [PDF]
Assessing the impacts of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill with a dependable baseline comparison can provide reliable insight into environmental stressors on organisms that were potentially affected by the spill.

Effects of Beauveria bassiana on embryos of the inland silverside fish (Menidia beryllina). [PDF]
A chemical toxicity and teratogenicity test was adapted to assess potential adverse effects of a microbial pest control agent on a nontarget fish. Developing embryos of the inland silverside, Menidia beryllina, were exposed to conidiospores of the insect-pathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana. Embryo rupture and death were observed.

Retention of elements absorbed by juvenile fish (Menidia menidia, Menidia beryllina) from zooplankton prey [PDF]
Radiolabeled copepods (Acartia spp.) were fed to juvenile silversides (Menidia menidia and Menidia beryllina) to study clement absorption in the fish. Copepods were reared from nauplii in the presence of different radiotracers (14C,109Cd, 57Co, 32P,35S,75Se, or 65Zn) and were analyzed for relative concentrations of these elements in their tissue ...

Behavioral and molecular effects of micro and nanoplastics across three plastic types in fish: weathered microfibers induce a similar response to nanosized particles [PDF]
Micro and nanoplastics (MNPs) are ubiquitous in the environment and have been detected in most ecosystems, including remote regions. The class of contaminants under the MNP umbrella is quite broad and encompasses variable polymer types, shapes, and sizes.

Climate change processes are warming, acidifying, and promoting a reduction of plankton biomass within World oceans. While the effects of these stressors on marine fish have been studied individually, their combined and interactive impacts remain unclear.

Direct and indirect parental exposure to endocrine disruptors and elevated temperature influences gene expression across generations in a euryhaline model fish [PDF]
Aquatic organisms inhabiting polluted waterways face numerous adverse effects, including physiological disruption by endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs). Little is known about how the temperatures associated with global climate change may influence the

Resource partitioning by Menidia menidia and Menidia beryllina (Osteichthyes: Atherinidae)
Etude du chevauchement de la niche ecologique et du partage des ressources chez ces deux especes dans deux estuaires du Rhode Island. Au cours du printemps, le chevauchement est presque total; il diminue au cours de l'ete et de l'automne.

Increasing shares of microfibers are being detected in environmental samples and a closer look to identify the risk associated with them using ecologically relevant endpoints, especially at sensitive early life stages, is needed.
