| Abstract: | Certain natural and man-made chemicals can interfere with the normal functioning of endocrine systems of both humans and animals. The strongest evidence for the effects of such endocrine disrupting chemicals in wildlife is the widespread feminisation of male fish reported in fish populations globally, linked to exposure to oestrogenic substances. This report describes a study to investigate current levels of oestrogenic (feminisation) effects in wild roach populations in England and to compare these observations with those made in earlier investigations. |
