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

    Author : Betty Collin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; microbiology; Vibrio spp.; Mozambique; Sweden; Mytilus edulis; Vibrio cholerae; Vibrio parahaemolyticus; persistence;

    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

  4. 7. New Perspectives in Multi-trophic Aquaculture

    Author : Matthew Hargrave; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; aquaculture; kelp; seaweed; IMTA; mussel; bioremediation; Saccharina latissima; Mytilus edulis; extractive aquaculture; biofouling; epiphytes;

    Abstract : Aquaculture, the farming of marine and aquatic organisms, is currently the fastest growing food production sector globally. As capture fisheries have stagnated and the fishing down of marine food webs has been seen to be unsustainable, aquaculture is filling the deficit in providing food to a growing world population.

  5. 8. Exploring phenomena that affect the fate and impact of radioactive materials in the blue mussel

    Author : Benedict Jaeschke; Clare Bradshaw; Andrew Turner; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Radioecology; ionising radiation; environmental protection; Mytilus edulis; bioaccumulation; dose-response; ecotoxicology; tritium; particle; hypoxia; marin ekotoxikologi; Marine Ecotoxicology;

    Abstract : Current protection of the marine environment from radiation is based largely on measuring, estimating and modelling accumulation and impact(s) of radionuclides in a few marine species. Using a relevant marine organism, this thesis focusses on investigating some poorly described phenomena that could cause deviations from predicted measurements. READ MORE

  7. 10. The use of protein biomarkers in ecotoxicology : Studies of oxidative and genotoxic stress in the blue mussel (Mytilus edulis)

    Author : Andreas Prevodnik; Michael Tedengren; Tomas Bollner; Kari Lehtonen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Biologi; Ecotoxicology; ekotoxikologi;

    Abstract : Many environmental pollutants, heavy metals and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) among them, are toxic by oxidative stress. Oxidative stress may be defined as a state in an organism when its inherent capacity to handle oxyradicals is surpassed, and it may result in peroxidation of lipids, and damage to proteins and DNA.
