(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)The ichthyotoxic flagellate Pseudochattonella has formed recurrent blooms in the North Sea, Skagerrak and Kattegat since 1998. Five strains of Pseudochattonella farcimen and two strains of P. verruculosa were examined in ... -
Environmental risk assessment of combined effects in aquatic ecotoxicology: A discussion paper
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Environmental regulatory edicts within the EU, such as the regulatory framework for chemicals REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals), the Water Framework Directive (WFD), and the Marine ... -
Environmental risk assessment of veterinary medicinal products intended for use in aquaculture in Europe: the need for developing a harmonised approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The current and future expansion of aquaculture production appears to be only manageable by using veterinary medicinal products (VMPs) to prevent and reduce disease outbreaks. However, only a very low number of VMPs are ... -
Environmental, social and economic sustainability considerations of aquaponics. The case of an aquaponic system at a Norwegian high school
(NIVA-rapport;7980-2024, Research report, 2024)This report covers how aquaponics contributes to the sustainability transition by discussing some of the main positive and negative environmental, social and economic aspects. It does this by taking a closer look into how ... -
Epifaunal and infaunal responses to submarine mine tailings in a Norwegian fjord
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Disposal of mine tailings in marine shallow water ecosystems represents an environmental challenge, and the present paper reports results from a field study in Frænfjorden, Norway, which is subject to such disposal. ... -
Epigenetic, transcriptional and phenotypic responses in Daphnia magna exposed to low-level ionizing radiation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Ionizing radiation is known to induce oxidative stress and DNA damage as well as epigenetic effects in aquatic organisms. Epigenetic changes can be part of the adaptive responses to protect organisms from radiation-induced ... -
Epigenetic, transcriptional and phenotypic responses in two generations of Daphnia magna exposed to the DNA methylation inhibitor 5-Azacytidine
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The water flea Daphnia magna is a keystone species in freshwater ecosystems and has been widely used as a model organism in environmental ecotoxicology. This aquatic crustacean is sensitive to environmental stressors and ... -
Episoder med skadelige alger og maneter i oppdrett- hva kan vi lære av erfaringer fra merdkanten
(NIVA-rapport;7755-2022, Research report, 2022)Noen ganger forårsaker oppblomstringer av alger og maneter skadelig for akvakulturvirksomhet og forårsaker fiskedød og redusert fiskevelferd. Et ferskt eksempel er oppblomstringen av Chrysochromulia leadbeateri i 2019 som ... -
