Exercise or swimming is an essential daily activity among aquatic organisms particularly on foods searching, seasonal migration, seasonal reproduction, predator-prey obviation and pollutants avoidance

Effects of perfluorinated organic compounds in aquatic organisms: a systems biology approach.
PFCs make up a large group of anthropogenic chemicals that have been used for several industrial and commercial purposes since the 1950s.
Characterisation and dynamics of metal toxicity in carp by means of gene expression profiling
Although cadmium toxicity is a well studied theme in the field of aquatic toxicology, still little is known concerning the molecular mechanisms of its toxic action. Moreover most laboratory studies only consider waterborne cadmium exposure, whereas dietary exposure can also contribute to the accumulation and effects of cadmium in fish. For a better understanding of the toxic responses leading to adverse effects there is an increasing need for more sensitive tools to determine early reactions on cadmium exposure and accumulation.
