Abstract

The impact of tembotrione and atrazine herbicides, commonly used in agriculture, on freshwater carp is concerning. These herbicides have been found to cause acute and chronic toxicity in carp, including mortality, reduced growth, impaired reproduction, and altered metabolic functions. Prolonged exposure to these herbicides in water bodies can amplify their detrimental effects on fish populations. The review emphasizes the need for effective mitigation strategies and regulatory measures to protect aquatic ecosystems and fish species from herbicide contamination, as well as the need for further research on environmentally friendly alternatives. And also highlights the harmful effects of tembotrione and atrazine herbicides on freshwater carp, emphasizing the need for comprehensive risk assessments and management practices to protect aquatic environments and ensure fish population sustainability that also fulfills SDG-14, recommending further research for environmentally friendly alternatives.
