Description

Hallana Silva and co-authors track gene switches flipped by a fish farm pesticide in a 2025 study. Trichlorfon controls parasites in aquaculture, but even doses too low to kill may poison the fish themselves. Tambaqui, a major Amazonian food fish, is a sensitive test case.

Juvenile fish swam in two sublethal doses for up to four days while liver gene activity was measured. Early on, stress and damage-control genes surged, along with energy and survival pathways, a compensation phase. By ninety-six hours, one energy gene collapsed while hypoxia and inflammation genes spiked late. The pattern shows initial coping giving way to metabolic failure. The authors propose the gene panel as an early-warning biomarker set for farm water monitoring.
