“…Nevertheless, since the contaminants associated with sediments can accumulate in aquatic organisms (Voorspoels et al, 2004;Zhao et al, 2009), it is essential to monitor POPs level and their potential accumulation in the aquatic organism as well as in the aquatic environment. Guo et al (2008) and Liu et al (2016) evaluate the contamination of OCPs in marine shrimp and the result affirmed that marine shrimp could accumulate the OCPs. Furthermore, Zhang et al (2014) in their work on bioaccumulation of PCBs in aquatic biota (fish and shrimp) demonstrated a strong bioaccumulation of some OCPs by fish and shrimp.…”

“…The term pesticide is a complex expression used for those chemicals used to resist, mitigate, deter, repel, prevent and destroy pests [10][11]. Air, water, and soil are contaminated with pesticides which may be due to its application in all the three media such as their direct application for controlling vectors, agricultural weeds, as well as aquatic flora.…”

Egypt has been listed as one of the most popular nations which are menaced through lack of water by the year 2025 due to overpopulation. The great deposition of highly polluted domestic and industrial effluents into its water ways, made a continuous and prompt damage to its surface and groundwater. The River Nile represents about 97% of Egypt's water resources; however winter rain and nonrenewable groundwater aquifers are also comprised. In Egypt, the main source of pollution is industrial wastes that are poured directly into the main water sources or through the municipal system. On the other hand, the pollution of the Mediterranean coast of Alexandria is mainly due to the discharge of wastes of industrial plants into the sea via Lake Marriott. The provincial populations have little or even no entry to drainage systems or wastewater treatment facilities and they rely only on theelimination of wastewater at the site of their production or collection. In the Delta region, drainage water is reused for irrigation after mixing with Nile water, while in Upper Egypt drainage water is disposed into the River Nile. Fertilizers and pesticides have been used on a wide range after the constructions of High Dam which resulted in weed flourishing which blocks the waterways, and provides habitats for Bilharzia snails. Egyptian fish aquaria exposed to toxicity due to water pollution from chemical plants and sewage pipes. Heavy metal pollution of Egyptian water is primarily produced by industrial and agricultural discharges. Other sources also include: coal and oil combustion, phosphate fertilizers, plastics and pesticides. Recently, the consumption of contaminated fish has been the possible cause of heavy metal poisoning in human. The aim of this review is to disclose the fundamental origin of water pollution in Egypt, and to elucidate the side effects of this pollution on fish.

“…A pest refers to a rodent, insect, nematode, weed, fungus, or any other form of terrestrial or aquatic plant or animal virus, bacteria, or other microorganisms that harm the foodstuffs, garden plants, household articles, or trees, as a vector of diseases [6,7]. For farmers, pests include mites and insects that feed on crops and aquatic plants, and cause animal and plant diseases, such as fungi, viruses, bacteria, snails, nematodes, and rodents [8]. On the other hand, pesticides are referred to as many chemical compounds that possess various biological activities and chemical natures, which are clustered together to increase their capability to eradicate pests [9][10][11][12][13].…”

Pesticides are chemicals used to control pests, such as aquatic weeds, insects, aquatic snails, and plant diseases. They are extensively used in forestry, agriculture, veterinary practices, and of great public health importance. Pesticides can be categorized according to their use into three major types (namely insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides). Water contamination by pesticides is known to induce harmful impacts on the production, reproduction, and survivability of living aquatic organisms, such as algae, aquatic plants, and fish (shellfish and finfish species). The literature and information present in this review article facilitate evaluating the toxic effects from exposure to various fish species to different concentrations of pesticides. Moreover, a brief overview of sources, classification, mechanisms of action, and toxicity signs of pyrethroid insecticides in several fish species will be illustrated with special emphasis on Cypermethrin toxicity.
