| Impact Description | In the effluent impacted Niagara River, antidepressants had a bioaccumulation factor of up to 3000 in rudd, which was significantly more than in native fishes and could make rudd (Scardinius erythrophthalmus) an important factor in biomagnification of these potentially harmful chemicals by predators but it is unknown if they may eventually impact humans who consume these fish. |
