Although this suite of existing and planned fish-based procedures might seem comprehensive, it should be borne in mind that the screens and partial life cycle tests are not sensitive to all EDC modalities. Thus, for example, the fish screens are relatively insensitive to thyroid-active or corticosteroid-active substances, so tests with other taxa (e.g., amphibians and birds) are also under development (see Chapters 8 and 10). Furthermore, the fish screens are also expected to be insensitive to some substances that interfere with the endocrine systems of invertebrates, so a range of apical tests with arthropods (insects and crustaceans) and molluscs are planned or in development (see Chapters 4, 5 and 6).
