research team studied how salmon migration was
affected both in a lab, where salmon migrated in a
large artificial stream, and in a natural stream
outside of Umeå in Northern Sweden. In both
environments, researchers found that salmon treated
with anxiety medication migrated nearly twice as
fast as salmon who had not been subjected to
treatment.</span><span

though salmon in Northern Sweden live in
river-systems low to moderately affected by

exposure to anxiety medication is an environmental
issue for these populations right now. However,
given the low dose used in the study we cannot rule
out that, with increasing human population and
medical use, this might become a problem in the near
future" says Hellström.</span><span
