Introduction

Estuaries serve as critical habitats for a wide variety of fish species and play a crucial role in supporting biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. However, these ecosystems are increasingly threatened by human activities, particularly urbanization. Urbanization can lead to habitat degradation, pollution, and changes in water quality, which can have detrimental effects on fish health. Understanding the impact of urbanization on estuarine fish health is essential for effective conservation and management strategies.

This thesis aims to assess estuarine fish health indices along an urbanization gradient to provide insights into the potential effects of urbanization on fish populations. By examining the physiological, biochemical, and histological markers of fish health in estuaries with varying levels of urbanization, this study seeks to identify key indicators of environmental stress and degradation.
