  Friday July 9, 02:49 PM Sewage turning British fish female LONDON (Reuters) - British fish are changing sex due to sewage in rivers that contains large amounts of female hormones, the Environment Agency says. In a report on the latest stage of 20 years of research on Friday, it said that in a survey of 1,500 fish at 50 locations, one-third of the males showed female characteristics. The agency which monitors environmental pollution said the sex changes were a result of the fish being exposed to treated sewage which still contained hormones produced naturally by women or as a result of them taking the contraceptive pill. "There is sufficient evidence of harm to fish caused by sewage effluent that action needs to be taken now to find out how to control this," Andrew Skinner, director of environmental protection at the agency, said in a statement. "We need to find out what is the best and most cost-effective way to remove these chemicals from sewage," he added.
It named the offending natural hormones as oestradiol and oestrone, and the synthetic culprit as ethinyloestradiol. It said the findings had serious implication for future fish populations because anything more than a moderate change in a fish's sexual organs made it more difficult to reproduce. The Environment Agency noted that while the phenomenon was being seen worldwide, Britain had the most comprehensive data on it.
somehow i think this has a bit more to do with hormones in sewage from women naturally, and women on contraceptive pill. here's a coincidence: watching DUNEWATCH the film. pituitary growth hormone (similar to it) found in fish. suspect dumping. radioactive waste. testing it on dogs of all creatures for some reason. dogs? O.o dogs are attacking ppl in the woods you see. well well well. i do think these hormones or synthetic ones akin to them are used in other chemicals. check it out. thinking...pesticides...along those lines.
