About me

Ecotoxicology and effect monitoring on bottomfauna, particularly amphipod crustaceans in both brackish-water and fresh-water environments. The significance of different sediment characteristics for bioavailability of sediment-associated metals and persistent hydrophobic organic contaminants (PHOCs). The ecotoxicological studies are focused on reproduction and endocrine effects on amphipods, and the significance of both antropogenic and natural environmental variables such as oxygen deficiency, food quality and temperature for reproduction disturbances.
