Abstract

Aquatic ecosystems play a vital role in supporting biodiversity and providing essential services to human societies. However, these ecosystems are increasingly threatened by various pollutants, posing significant challenges to their health and functioning. Aquatic toxicology, a multidisciplinary field, focuses on understanding the effects of contaminants on aquatic organisms and ecosystems. This comprehensive review aims to provide insights into the current state of knowledge in aquatic toxicology, including key concepts, methodologies, major pollutants of concern, and their impacts on aquatic biota. Additionally, we discuss the implications of aquatic toxicology for ecosystem health and management strategies to mitigate pollution effects. By synthesizing recent research findings, this review highlights the importance of addressing aquatic toxicity issues to safeguard the integrity and sustainability of aquatic ecosystems worldwide
