Research on the impact of #glyphosate on rainbow trout shows damaging effects over several generations, even when later generations were not directly exposed anses.fr/fr/connaitre-i…
A reduction in the ability to react to changes in light was seen in the larvae of parents and/or grandparents exposed to pure glyphosate or to glyphosate-based herbicides at realistic levels. This could translate in nature into less responsiveness when escaping predators.
Another experiment showed a decrease in the diversity of microorganisms present on the gills of fish following exposure to pure glyphosate and glyphosate-based herbicides. Gills are a key organ for exchanges with the external environment and the maintenance of fish in good health
Very important point: "This research also shows that the most significant effects do not occur in the first generation of exposed fish, but mainly in fish descended from exposed parents and/or grandparents."
Impacts have also been observed on the expression of enzymes involved in energy metabolism , the quantity and/or efficiency of certain immune cells or even developmental disturbances (malformations), particularly in the larval stages. #glyphosate
