Abstract：
Arsenic occurs across the world in freshwater and marine environments, menacing the survival of aquatic organisms. Organic and inorganic forms of this substance can be found, in which the inorganic form is more hazardous than the organic form. Most aquatic bodies contain inorganic arsenic species, but organic species are believed to be the dominant form of arsenic in the majority of fish. Natural and anthropogenic both are the sources of water contamination with arsenic. Its bioaccumulation and transfer from one trophic level to another in the aquatic food chain make arsenic a vital environmental issue. Continuous exposure to low concentrations of arsenic in aquatic organisms including fish leads to its bioaccumulation, which may affect organisms of higher trophic levels including large fishes or humans. Humans can be exposed to arsenic through the consumption of fish contaminated with arsenic. Hence, the present review facilitates our understanding about sources of arsenic, its bioaccumulation, food chain transfer, and its effect on the fish health. Also, \"Poison in the Water: Arsenic\'s Silent Assault on Fish Health\" serves as a wake-up call to recognize the pressing need to address arsenic contamination in water bodies. By understanding its devastating impact on fish health, we can strive to implement sustainable practices and policies that safeguard our precious aquatic environments and ensure the well-being of both wildlife and human communities that depend on them.
摘要：
砷存在于世界各地的淡水和海洋环境中，威胁水生生物的生存。可以找到这种物质的有机和无机形式，其中无机形式比有机形式更危险。大多数水生生物含有无机砷，但是有机物种被认为是大多数鱼类中砷的主要形式。自然和人为都是砷污染的水源。砷在水生食物链中的生物积累和从一个营养级转移到另一个营养级，使砷成为一个至关重要的环境问题。持续暴露于包括鱼类在内的水生生物中的低浓度砷导致其生物积累，这可能会影响较高营养水平的生物，包括大型鱼类或人类。人类可以通过食用被砷污染的鱼而暴露于砷。因此，本综述有助于我们了解砷的来源，它的生物蓄积性，食物链转移,以及它对鱼类健康的影响。此外，“水中的毒药：砷对鱼类健康的无声攻击”是一个警钟，以认识到解决水体中砷污染的迫切需要。通过了解它对鱼类健康的破坏性影响，我们可以努力实施可持续的做法和政策，保护我们宝贵的水生环境，并确保依赖它们的野生动物和人类社区的福祉。
