2. 1. Importance of blue mussels for biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in subtidal habitats

   Author : Pia Norling; Nils Kautsky; Tom Ysebaert; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; blue mussel; Mytilus spp.; ecosystem engineering; habitat-modifier; diversity; facilitation; ecosystem functioning; ecosystem services and water quality maintenance; Marine ecology; Marin ekologi; marin ekotoxikologi; Marine Ecotoxicology;

   Abstract : Blue mussels, Mytilus spp., occur on rocky and sedimentary shores worldwide where they often form dense aggregates. These assemblages change the local environment and create unique habitats. READ MORE

4. 2. Characterization and persistence of potential human pathogenic vibrios in aquatic environments

   Author : Betty Collin; Högskolan Kristianstad; Gothenburg University; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Vibrio cholerae; Vibrio parahaemolyticus; Mozambique; Sweden; molluscs; occurrence; persistence; sediment; TCBS; PCR; PhP; antibiotic resistance; microbiology; Vibrio spp.; Mytilus edulis;

   Abstract : Vibrio spp., natural inhabitants of aquatic environments, are one of the most common causes of bacterial gastroenteritis in the world, being spread to humans via the ingestion of seafood, contaminated drinking water or exposure to seawater. The majority of Vibrio spp. are avirulent, but certain strains may sporadically be human pathogenic. READ MORE

6. 4. Pharmaecological perspectives : Exposure studies using coastal Baltic Sea organisms

   Author : Hanna Oskarsson; Linda Kumblad; Ann-Kristin Eriksson Wiklund; Johan Eklöf; Nina Cedergreen; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pharmaceuticals; Baltic Sea; Mytilus edulis trossulus; Fucus vesiculosus; Ceramium tenuicorne; Gammarus spp.; Direct effects; Inter-specific interactions; marin ekotoxikologi; Marine Ecotoxicology;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates the effects of pharmaceutical substances on coastal Baltic Sea organisms. Despite an increasing awareness of the occurrence of pharmaceuticals in various aquatic compartments, current knowledge of their possible effects on non-target organisms is limited.

7. 5. Hydroxylated polybrominat­ed diphenyl ethers in Baltic Sea biota : Natural production, food web distribution and biotransformation

   Author : Dennis Lindqvist; Lillemor Asplund; Walter Vetter; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; OH-PBDEs; Baltic Sea; Biosynthesis; Environmental fate; Wildlife exposure; Metabolism; Analytical methods; Ceramium tenuicorne; Blue mussel; Gammarus spp.; Stickleback; Perch; Grey Seal; miljökemi; Environmental Chemistry;

   Abstract : Hydroxylated polybrominated diphenyl ethers (OH-PBDEs) are naturally produced in aquatic ecosystems e.g. by algae. Many OH-PBDEs have been observed to be highly bioactive and to cause adverse effects through several pathways, e. READ MORE
