Dying for change: A roadmap to refine the fish acute toxicity test after 40 years of applying a lethal endpoint
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The fish acute toxicity test (TG203; OECD, 2019) is frequently used and highly embedded in hazard and risk assessment globally. The test estimates the concentration of a chemical that kills 50% of the fish (LC50) over a ... -
Gamma irradiation during gametogenesis in young adult zebrafish causes persistent genotoxicity and adverse reproductive effects
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The biological effects of gamma radiation may exert damage beyond that of the individual through its deleterious effects on reproductive function. Impaired reproductive performance can result in reduced population size ... -
Microplastics could be marginally more hazardous than natural suspended solids - A meta-analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Microplastics (MP) are perceived as a threat to aquatic ecosystems but bear many similarities to suspended sediments which are often considered less harmful. It is, therefore pertinent to determine if and to what extent ... -
Monitoring ocean water quality by deployment of lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) eggs: In situ bioaccumulation and toxicity in embryos
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Fish embryos can bioaccumulate and are particularly sensitive to a wide range of contaminants, which makes them suitable sentinels for environmental biomonitoring. However, fish embryos are very rarely utilized in environmental ... -
Specific toxicity of azithromycin to the freshwater microalga Raphidocelis subcapitata
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Pharmaceuticals are produced to inflict a specific physiological response in organisms. However, as only partially metabolized after administration, these types of compounds can also originate harmful side effects to ... -
Sub-lethal UV radiation during early life stages alters the behaviour, heart rate and oxidative stress parameters in zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Environmental UV radiation in sufficient doses, as a possible consequence of climate change, is potent enough to affect living organisms with different outcomes, depending on the exposure life stage. The aim of this project ...
