contents Unlocking the combined impact of microplastics and emerging contaminants on fish: A review and meta-analysis. Wu, Weiming Du, Rupeng Chen, Zhuoyun Li, Weiwen Huang, Xiaomei Pan, Zhong Animals Fishes Microplastics Oxidative Stress Reproduction Water Pollutants, Chemical Microplastics (MPs) possess unique adsorptive properties that render their surfaces prone to absorbing other contaminants. When interacting with these emerging contaminants, MPs may have unpredictable negative impacts on fish. Prior studies have primarily concentrated on the impact of single contaminants, while investigations into combined pollution have not received adequate attention. Therefore, research on combined pollution holds greater practical significance. The physiological indicators of fish affected by emerging contaminants and the mechanisms behind these effects are not yet fully clear. To address this issue, a meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the impact of combined pollution of MPs-containing emerging contaminants on various aspects of fish health, encompassing behavior, consumption, development, and reproduction, along with the assessment of oxidative stress and neurotoxicity of fish. The results of the meta-analysis indicated that combined pollution adversely impacted fish reproduction, development, oxidative stress, and neurotoxicity. Importantly, significant differences were observed between fish species regarding their susceptibility to function and oxidative stress. Further investigation into the mechanisms of the impact of combined pollution on fish revealed that the magnitude of this impact is closely associated with the characteristics of the MPs themselves. MPs with higher adsorption capacities tend to lead to more severe consequences, while the impact of MPs with lower adsorption capacities relies more on their toxicity. Nevertheless, a close correlation between the duration of exposure to combined pollution and the level of oxidative stress in fish was not identified. Through a systematic analysis of existing studies, this review not only explored the cumulative effects of combined pollution on fish but also highlighted the intricate nature of such pollution within aquatic ecosystems. It contributes to the growing body of knowledge on the subject and emphasizes the need for further research to unravel the complexities associated with the combined impact of MPs-containing emerging contaminants on aquatic life.
