Nanosized metals react with large masses because of their high stability in the aquatic environment, smaller size, and larger specific surface area. Due to advanced physical and chemical properties of nanosized metals, their use in the industry has been increasing with a high acceleration day by day. Since this increase results in higher levels of release to the environment, it poses a danger especially for aquatic organisms. Overproduction and use of nanosized metals accelerate their precipitation in the aquatic ecosystem, causing metal accumulation in organisms and being transferred more intensively to the upper trophic levels. Acute or chronic effects of metal nanoparticles entering aquatic ecosystems cause changes in metabolic and physiological events by affecting biochemical parameters in serum as well as accumulation in tissues and organs of fish. There are studies stating in favor or against the finding that the effect of metal nanoparticles is different from the other forms of the same metal on fish. Hence, this chapter will concentrate on the impacts of metal nanoparticles on fish.
