The fish’s endocrine system, which regulates hormones and reproductive systems, is being thrown off by the estrogen and estrogen-like chemicals being dumped into the water through both agricultural and human waste, such as manure and human waste water, along with synthetic chemicals coming from plastics and pharmaceutical chemicals that act like estrogens, such as the ones found in birth control pills.

I wonder if this issue is happening in the Passaic River. I've never seen a river with more sewage discharges than that river. The town I grew up in has one. The town I live in now discharges into the Passaic, too.
Sometimes I don't feel like drinking beer, but then I remember the pike and smallmouth bass, who need water to swim in. Then I gladly down a few beers and help keep the river water levels high!
