Pollution is causing males to become more feminised

Immature eggs found in the tests of a frightening number of male fish is a portent of the evils of a feminism-threated world. 

The researchers analysed samples of five mullet populations living on the Basque coast and the displaced feminised signs were spotted in three cases.

 As the UK lies blanketed beneath record levels of smog, fish from the mainland are (in a screwed sort of way) living proof the unwanted consequences of pollution in their own environment.

Members of the Cell Biology in Environmental Toxicology group have found irrefutable proof that male fish in the estuaries in Basque Country have inherited “feminised features” from chemical waste in the water. What is seeping into the waters are Endocrine disrupting chemicals, which act as estrogens, a substance responsible for reproductive dysfunctions according to information released by the Marine Environmental Research journal.


The offending chemicals can be found in everyday products such as pesticides and detergents, making their way to the estuaries after being assimilated in teh cleaning systems in water treatment plants. There has also been evidence of the pollutants being dumped from industrial and farming activities.
