The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a class of pollutants widely released and deposited in these environments, leading to several impacts on the community of organisms that integrate these ecosystems. As lipophilic compounds, PAHs become bioavailable to organisms and can enter the trophic chain, leading to physiological changes and affecting different levels of biological organization. Several studies demonstrate that PAHs act as endocrine disruptors in marine fish, interfering with endocrine signaling through hormonal disturbances and, consequently, causing inhibition or overexpression of genes, enzymes, and proteins that are essential for reproduction success. These changes, in turn, can lead to population decline and cause immeasurable ecosystem damage. This review synthesizes studies published mainly between 2015 and 2025, aiming to critically present research that identifies different endocrine-reproductive changes in marine fish species exposed to PAHs in contaminated sites, highlighting the involved cellular mechanisms. Finally, we provide a survey of patents developed to identify PAHs in aquatic environments and how these techniques can be used in marine biomonitoring to evaluate water quality and the risk of exposure to biota and human populations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/toxics13090747","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,2]],"date-time":"2025-09-02T13:01:13Z","timestamp":1756818073000},"page":"747","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Marine Environments Affect Fish Reproduction\u2014A Critical Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5044-9792","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roberta","family":"Pozzan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cell Toxicology Laboratory, Department of Cell Biology, Biological Sciences Sector, Federal University of Paran\u00e1, Curitiba CEP 81531-970, PR, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4358-1928","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aliciane","family":"de Almeida Roque","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cell Toxicology Laboratory, Department of Cell Biology, Biological Sciences Sector, Federal University of Paran\u00e1, Curitiba CEP 81531-970, PR, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9572-0363","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hissashi","family":"Iwamoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bioprocess Engineering and Biotechnology, Federal University of Paran\u00e1, Curitiba CEP 82590-300, PR, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5865-9276","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fernando","family":"de Campos Guerreiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cell Toxicology Laboratory, Department of Cell Biology, Biological Sciences Sector, Federal University of Paran\u00e1, Curitiba CEP 81531-970, PR, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8150-5630","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana","family":"da Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cell Toxicology Laboratory, Department of Cell Biology, Biological Sciences Sector, Federal University of Paran\u00e1, Curitiba CEP 81531-970, PR, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9711-1000","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"D\u00e1maso","family":"Rubio-Vargas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cell Toxicology Laboratory, Department of Cell Biology, Biological Sciences Sector, Federal University of Paran\u00e1, Curitiba CEP 81531-970, PR, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Micheli","family":"de Marchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cell Toxicology Laboratory, Department of Cell Biology, Biological Sciences Sector, Federal University of Paran\u00e1, Curitiba CEP 81531-970, PR, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-9512-7383","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Felipe","family":"de Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cell Toxicology Laboratory, Department of Cell Biology, Biological Sciences Sector, Federal University of Paran\u00e1, Curitiba CEP 81531-970, PR, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4377-6530","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Walter","family":"Mart\u00ednez-Burgos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bioprocess Engineering and Biotechnology, Federal University of Paran\u00e1, Curitiba CEP 82590-300, PR, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maritana","family":"Prodocimo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cell Toxicology Laboratory, Department of Cell Biology, Biological Sciences Sector, Federal University of Paran\u00e1, Curitiba CEP 81531-970, PR, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ciro","family":"de Oliveira Ribeiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cell Toxicology Laboratory, Department of Cell Biology, Biological Sciences Sector, Federal University of Paran\u00e1, Curitiba CEP 81531-970, PR, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"311","DOI":"10.1080\/10406638.2013.781042","article-title":"Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in the Environment: Environmental Fate and Transformation","volume":"33","author":"Manzetti","year":"2013","journal-title":"Polycycl.
