Somehow I ran across this article this morning. It caught my eye since I spend a lot of time around fish. I am wondering if there are any studies that anyone knows of taking place looking for these changes here in the Aloha state?
Agricultural chemicals, pharmaceuticals causing male fish to become egg-carrying mutants
It turns out that male fish are being turned into females because of pollution and contaminants in the water where they live. What will this mean for the future of our finned friends? Or our reefs? Can it happen here? I know there is a lot of concern about our states ability to treat waste water effectively and every now and then we hear of an accident or spill occurring. This sounds like sci-fi stuff to me. Anyone have any thoughts?
