After screening their liver, brain and muscle, they found several well-known antidepressants, including fluoxetine, better known as Prozac, and paroxetine, aka Paxil or Seroxat. Although the amounts were small - typically less than a nanogram of drug per gram of fish tissue - Sauvé warns that over time, the drugs could impact their behaviour and ecology. He and his team showed that the brain cells of fish exposed to the effluent in a Petri dish were less active than normal cells.
