A change in the estradial levels could
definitely disrupt the hormonal pathways, which involve
a hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis. Disruption in
this axis alters the reproductive capacities and system

viable eggs. It is a known fact that viable eggs are
essential for the propagation of a fish population. When
the aquatic environment is altered due to the influx of
man-made toxins in the water body, normal fish
reproduction is at risk
