This study investigates copy number variations (CNVs) in the silverside fish Basilichthys microlepidotus inhabiting the Maipo River basin in central Chile. The research focuses on how chronic pollution influences genetic variations, specifically CNVs, as a potential adaptive mechanism in fish populations exposed to anthropogenic stressors. The findings contribute to understanding the genomic response of freshwater species to environmental pollution.
