The novel brominated flame retardant, 1,2-bis(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)ethane (BTBPE), has increasingly been detected in environmental and biota samples. However, limited information is available regarding its toxicity, especially at environmentally relevant concentrations. In the present study, adult male zebrafish were exposed to varying concentrations of BTBPE (0, 0.01, 0.1, 1, and 10 μg/L) for 28 days. The results demonstrated underperformance in mating behavior and reproductive success of male zebrafish when paired with unexposed females...
