“…The most important sex hormones used in fish farming are estrogens and androgens, which can be of natural origin or synthetic (De et al 2022 ). The presence of environmental hormones in aquaculture seawater has been documented, with bisphenol A (Lv et al 2013 ) or exogenous hormones, such as carp pituitary homogenate, Ovopel, and Ovaprim—essential for successful reproduction (Nica et al 2022 ). Estrone, endogenous steroids, testosterone, and androstenedione were detected in sewage from three fish hatcheries at concentrations of approximately 1 ng/dm 3 (Kolodziej et al 2004 ).…”

Within recent years, hormones have become emergent contaminants in the water environment. They easily accumulate in living organisms which in effect leads to numerous health problems (endocrine-disrupting mechanism is one of the most known toxic effects). Microbial resistance to antibiotics also became one of the emergent issues related to hormone presence. It was shown that the most common in the environment occur estrogens (E1, E2, E3, and EE2). It has been proven that large amounts of hormones are released from aquaculture as well as from wastewater treatment plants (due to the relatively low separation efficiency of conventional wastewater treatment processes). Within the article’s scope, the literature review was performed. The analysis was regarding the characterization of the hormone substances present in the environment, their influence on living organisms and the environment, as well as its potential sources classification.
