  2. 11. A Spatial Scale Approach to Fish Habitat Ecology and Impacted Rivers

    Author : Henry H. Hansen; Eva Bergman; Max Lindmark; Dana Infante; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fish Habitat Models; River Ecology; Novel Riverscapes; Spatial Scale; Fish Communities; Anthropogenic Impacts; Sustainability; River Management; River Restoration; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : Fish biodiversity in rivers is threatened by continual habitat loss. Evidence to support management and restoration of rivers requires information about the specific habitat requirements for entire fish communities. READ MORE

  4. 12. In vitro and in vivo studies on the toxicology of di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) : Effects on reproductive, endocrine, and immune systems

    Abstract : Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental issues in today’s world. Addressing this problem calls for the development of environmentally friendly alternatives that would reduce the amount of persistent plastic waste. READ MORE

  6. 14. Fruit wastes to biomaterials : Development of biofilms and 3D objects in a circular economy system

    Author : Veronika Bátori; Kristiina Oksman; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : apple pomace; biodegradable; bioplastics; circular economy; orange waste; resource recovery; Resource Recovery; Resursåtervinning;

    Abstract : To address the current plastic pollution problem, the replacement of conventional plastics with bioplastics can be considered. Although the land use of crop cultivation for bioplastics is still negligible, there is an increasing interest in the utilisation of lignocellulosic waste products for the production of bioplastics.

  7. 15. Does fish health matter? The Utility of Biomarkers in Fish for Environmental Assessment

    Author : Niklas Hanson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biomarkers; Fish; Environmental monitoring; Ecological risk assessment; Rainbow trout; Perch;

    Abstract : Two common strategies to assess exposure to environmental toxicants are to measure chemical concentrations in the environment and to examine the presence of certain species that are known to be sensit... merive to pollution. READ MORE
