Trout near Montreal, Canada, may be affected by antidepressants in sewage from the city. University of Montreal's Sebastien Sauve screened the muscles, livers and brains of trout exposed to sewage that came from Montreal, mixed with water from the St Lawrence seaway. The antidepressants found in the trout included Prozac. Sauve fears that the drugs could have an effect on fish behaviour in the long term.
