Glyphosate is the active ingredient of numerous commercial formulations of herbicides applied in different sectors, from agriculture to aquaculture. Due to its large use, detectable concentrations of glyphosate have been detected in aquatic environments, posing a potential risk to living organisms. This review summarizes results of various studies on the effects of glyphosate (both as active ingredient and component of commercial formulations) on marine invertebrates. Data of acute toxicity tests indicate that glyphosate can be lethal at high concentrations (not environmentally realistic), whereas results of long-lasting experiments indicate that glyphosate can markedly affect biological responses of marine invertebrates.
