Abstract
Bisphenol-A is one of the most studied endocrine-chemicals, which is widely used all over the world in plastic manufacture. Because of its extensive use, it has become one of the most abundant chemical environmental pollutants, especially in aquatic environments. BPA is known to affect fish reproduction via estrogen receptors but many studies advocate that BPA affects almost all aspects of fish physiology. The possible modes of action include genomic, as well as and non-genomic mechanisms, estrogen, androgen, and thyroid receptor-mediated effects. Due to the high detrimental effects of BPA, various analogs of BPA are being used as alternatives. Recent evidence suggests that the analogs of BPA have similar modes of action, with accompanying effects on fish physiology and reproduction. In this review, a detailed comparison of effects produced by BPA and analogs and their mode of action is discussed.
