Studies of adaptive evolution have experienced a recent revival in population genetics of
natural populations and there is currently much focus on identifying genomic signatures of …

Purpose Sediments serve as integral and dynamic parts of our aquatic systems. Within the
last 15 to 20 years, however, the scientific community has begun noticing deterioration of …

Abstract Background The Manila clam, Ruditapes philippinarum, is one of the major
aquaculture species in the world and a potential sentinel organism for monitoring the status …

Background Genomic and transcriptomic approaches have the potential for unveiling the
genome-wide response to environmental perturbations. The abundance of the catadromous …

Ecotoxicogenomics is develo** into a key tool for the assessment of environmental
impacts and environmental risk assessment for aquatic ecosystems. This review aims to …

Methylmercury (MeHg) is a widely distributed contaminant polluting many aquatic
environments, with health risks to humans exposed mainly through consumption of seafood …

The molecular mechanisms underlying the neurotoxicity of methylmercury (MeHg), a
ubiquitous environmental contaminant, are not yet fully understood. Furthermore, there is a …

We evaluated the potential contribution of oil droplets to the toxicity of dispersed oil to first
feeding fish larvae. Atlantic cod larvae were exposed to five concentrations of either …

Fish primary hepatocyte cultures are commonly used for toxicological assessment of
contaminants. So far no one has described a protocol on how to use Atlantic cod …

Background The use of dispersants can be an effective way to deal with acute oil spills to
limit environmental damage, however very little is known about whether chemically …
