Bisphenol AF (BPAF) is a novel environmental endocrine disruptor, and is widely detected in the aquatic environment, which is a potential threat to the health of fish. In this study, male Oryzias curvinotus were exposed to environmental concentrations (0.93 and 9.33 μg/L) of BPAF for 21 days. The effects of BPAF on survival, growth, reproduction, liver and testis histology, and gene transcriptional profiles of O. curvinotus were investigated. The results showed that the survival rate of male O. curvinotus slight decrease with increasing BPAF concentration, and there was no significant effect on body length, body weight, and K-factor. BPAF (9.33 μg/L) caused significant changes in testicular structure and reduced spermatid count in O. curvinotus. Changes in transcript levels of some antioxidant-related genes in gills and liver following BPAF exposure, imply an effect of BPAF on the immune system. After BPAF exposure, chgs and vtgs were up-regulated, validating the estrogenic effect of BPAF. In the hypothalamic - pituitary - gonadal axis (HPG) results, erα, erγ and cyp19a1b were all up-regulated in the brain, and the 0.93 μg/L BPAF group was more up-regulated than the 9.33 μg/L BPAF group. In testis, BPAF significantly up-regulated the mRNA expression level of cyp17a1 and cyp11b, while significantly down-regulated mRNA expression level of cyp11a, and cyp19a1 was significantly down-regulated only in the 0.93 μg/L BPAF group. In conclusion, environmental levels of BPAF have adverse effects on the survival and reproduction of O. curvinotus, and the potential toxic effects of environmental levels of BPAF cannot be ignored.
