Aquatic Animal Toxicity Assays Services
Aquatic animal toxicity assays assess the potentially toxic effects of chemicals, drugs, environmental pollutants, and other chemicals on aquatic organisms through various toxicity assays using aquatic animals as experimental models, such as bony fish and cephalopods. BioVenic provides various aquatic organism as experimental subjects and a comprehensive range of toxicity assay techniques.

Aquatic animal toxicity assays have a wide range of applications covering a variety of industries with the assistance of various advanced equipment and technologies. By using a variety of indicators of mortality, growth rate, reproduction, behavioral changes, and genetic damage, aquatic animal toxicity assays play an indispensable role in different fields, including environmental monitoring, food safety, aquaculture, and pharmaceutical and chemical evaluation.
Environmental and Ecological Conservation
With the development of modern industry, the negative impacts of industrial wastewater, agricultural runoff, urban sewage, and other pollutants on aquatic organisms, including heavy metals, organic contaminants, and microplastics, have increased dramatically. The application of toxicity assays on aquatic organisms can predict the ecotoxicity and bioaccumulation of pollutants effectively assess the pollution situation and timely remediate the environment under the condition of combining with the ecological model.
Life Science Research
A wide range of aquatic animal toxicity assays have been used in life sciences, such as gene toxicity studies combined with multi-omics, neurotoxicity, and behavioral studies, since most aquatic organisms have comprehensive genetic information and fast and efficient life cycles. Furthermore, toxicity assays play a significant role in drug screening and gene editing research when aquatic organisms are used as models for various diseases.
Optimization of Aquaculture
Toxicity assays play an important role in ensuring the safety of aquatic products and reducing health risks in the food chain. For example, such as Rainbow Trout, Red Seabream, Squid, and other aquatic animals that are widely farmed around the globe, long-term intake of contaminants compromise food safety and thus human health. Toxicity assays can not only be used to monitor contaminant residues in aquatic products to ensure compliance with food safety standards but also help optimize aquaculture by evaluating the impact of contaminants on their growth. By assessing the impact of contaminants on the growth of aquatic organisms, aquaculture is also optimized.
