PFAS and rising salinity interact to threaten survival of estuary-dependent fish

PFHxS, a replacement PFAS, reduced hatching odds by roughly 60% in red drum embryos, a finding that should command attention. This study confirms that an environmentally relevant concentration of this understudied chemical, combined with the salinity stress typical of estuaries, threatens both survival and development of a critical sportfish. Understanding these multi-stressor interactions is essential.
