Ecotoxicology/ecophysiology studies of pollutants (emerging, priority) such as pesticides in aquatic fauna. Acute, chronic and sublethal studies on the standardised invertebrate Daphnia magna and other aquatic invertebrate and fish species. Use of biomarkers to determine endocrine (reproductive, metabolic), physiological (induction of the correct stress response), and enzymatic disruption. Induction of oxidative stress and phase I, II and III detoxification processes) as well as the recovery of individuals after a polluting event. Ecophysiological characterisation of invasive species (Dreissena polymorpha) and fish species standardised as threatened (Danio rerio, Anguilla anguilla) by natural and anthropogenic factors. Monitoring of the state of health and pathologies in wild eel populations, in relation to physico-chemical parameters of the environment and levels of toxins (heavy metals and PCBs) and study of the pathogenic bacteria involved. Monitoring the effects of pollutants (emerging and priority pollutants) and global warming on commercial species through field and laboratory studies. Ecotoxicological implications of chemotherapeutic products used in aquaculture. Biological quality of epicontinental waters. Biomonitoring. Bioremediation.
Develop methodologies for the ecotoxicological assessment of water, waste and effluents.
- Biological monitoring of epicontinental water quality
Biotic indices in inland waters. Water quality. Bioremediation.
- Animal Toxicology
Ecotoxicity bioassays. Toxic accumulation in living organisms. Toxicity in environmental matrices. Biomarkers of oxidative stress and xenobiotic exposure.
