Many toxicity studies do not explore the possible sub-lethal
effects of environmental contaminants; instead rely on death as a
toxicological endpoint.Understanding the effects of arsenic on
aquatic life can act as biological early warning system to assess
how anthropogenic sources of arsenic could shape the biodiversity
in the affected areas. The present findings are significant in the perspective of amphibian population decline. The accelerated metamorphosis, genotoxicity and teratogenic effects induced by
environmentally relevant concentrations arsenic inR. Limnocharis
could have long-term fitness consequence to the population as a
whole. More studies on the effects of arsenic on different species
of amphibians and other aquatic organisms suggested
