Changes in microbial water quality in RAS following altered feed loading
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Intensive recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) with its hyper-eutrophic water offer ideal conditions for bacterial growth, abundance and activity, potentially affecting fish and system performance. Feed composition and ... -
Changes in phytoplankton community structure over a century in relation to environmental factors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Changes in phytoplankton abundance and biomass during the period 1933–2020 were examined by statistical modeling using data from the Inner Oslofjorden phytoplankton database. The phytoplankton abundances increased with ... -
Changes in the diatom community in the great lake (Lurë National Park, Albania) from 2005 to 2017 and first steps towards assessment the water quality
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Great Lake is the largest of 14 lakes situated in Lurë National Park, in the eastern part of the Lurë Mountains, Albania. To characterize lake ecological status, epiphytic and epilithic diatom samples were collected from ... -
Characterization of cell responses in Rhodomonas baltica exposed to PMMA nanoplastics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Due to their small size, nanoplastics (NPLs) possess specific properties which can potentiate their toxicity towards aquatic organisms. As primary producers, microalgae are at the base of aquatic food chains, thus negative ... -
Characterization of multiple biomarker responses using flow cytometry to improve environmental hazard assessment with the green microalgae Raphidocelis subcapitata
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Microalgal toxicity tests using integrative endpoints as algal growth are regularly required to analyse the toxicity of potentially hazardous substances in the aquatic environment. However, these do not provide mechanistic ... -
Characterization of tire and road wear microplastic particle contamination in a road tunnel: From surface to release
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Road pollution is one of the major sources of microplastic particles to the environment. The distribution of tire, polymer-modified bitumen (PMB) and tire and road wear particles (TRWP) in different tunnel compartments ... -
Characterizing combined effects of antiestrogenic chemicals on vitellogenin production in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) hepatocytes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Fish are exposed to a complex mixture of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDC), some of which display antiestrogenic activity leading to suppression of estrogen receptor (ER)- mediated reproductive processes. Although the ... -
Characterizing cytotoxic and estrogenic activity of Arctic char tissue extracts in primary Arctic char hepatocytes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Contaminants from various anthropogenic activities are detected in the Arctic due to long-range atmospheric transport, ocean currents, and living organisms such as migrating fish or seabirds. Although levels of persistent ... -
Charophytes in warm springs on Svalbard (Spitsbergen): DNA barcoding identifies Chara aspera and Chara canescens with unusual morphological traits
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The Troll springs are warm springs on Svalbard (Spitsbergen). Charophytes were collected in the years 1910, 1912, 1958, 1992/1993, and 2018. However, since the Chara samples showed unusual morphological traits, there were ... -
Chasing equilibrium passive sampling of hydrophobic organic compounds in water
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)We investigated a combination of approaches to extend the attainment of partition equilibria between silicone passive samplers (samplers) and surface or treated waste water towards more hydrophobic organic compounds (HOC). ... -
China’s regulatory respond to plastic pollution: Trends and trajectories
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Despite China having an international reputation as one of the largest contributors to plastic pollution in the world’s oceans, research analyzing China’s regulatory approach to governing plastic has been limited and ... -
Chitinase digestion for the analysis of microplastics in chitinaceous organisms using the terrestrial isopod Oniscus asellus L. as a model organism
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Chitinaceous organisms have been found to ingest microplastic; however, a standardised, validated, and time- and cost-efficient method for dissolving these organisms without affecting microplastic particles is still required. ... -
Chloropicophyceae, a new class of picophytoplanktonic prasinophytes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Prasinophytes are a paraphyletic group of nine lineages of green microalgae that are currently classified either at the class or order level or as clades without formal taxonomic description. Prasinophyte clade VII comprises ... -
Ciona spp. and ascidians as bioindicator organisms for evaluating effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals: A discussion paper
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)In context of testing, screening and monitoring of endocrine-disrupting (ED) type of environmental pollutants, tunicates could possibly represent a particularly interesting group of bioindicator organisms. These primitive ... -
The Circular Benefits of Participation in Nature-Based Solutions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Nature-based solutions (NbS) provide direct benefits to people who live in areas where these approaches are present. The degree of direct benefits (thermal comfort, reduced flood risk, and mental health) varies across ... -
Claiming space: Contested coastal commons in Mumbai
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Many of the world’s cities are located on the coast, and coastal ecologies and livelihoods are under increasing pressure from rapid urban transformations and climate change. This necessitates paying attention to how coastal ... -
Cleaner air reveals growing influence of climate on dissolved organic carbon trends in northern headwaters
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Surface water browning, the result of increasing concentrations of dissolved organic matter (DOM), has been widespread in northern ecosystems in recent decades. Here, we assess a database of 426 undisturbed headwater lakes ... -
Cleaning Up without Messing Up: Maximizing the Benefits of Plastic Clean-Up Technologies through New Regulatory Approaches
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)As the global plastics crisis grows, numerous technologies have been invented and implemented to recover plastic pollution from the environment. Although laudable, unregulated clean-up technologies may be inefficient and ... -
Climate change, cyanobacteria blooms and ecological status of lakes: A Bayesian network approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Eutrophication of lakes and the risk of harmful cyanobacterial blooms due is a major challenge for management of aquatic ecosystems, and climate change is expected to reinforce these problems. Modelling of aquatic ecosystems ... -
