Ecotoxicology
A wide range of projects have been conducted in ecotoxicology, including:
- Health of fish populations inhabiting Cockburn Sound, Western Australia;
- Identification of a suitable native fish as a biomonitoring tool for Western Australia;
- Influence of the route of exposure on measured levels of several biomarkers used in ecotoxicology;
- Suitability of molecular and biochemical markers of exposure in fish to monitor industrial contamination;
- Use of EROD activity in fish livers as indicators of environmental health;
- Imposex in welks Thais orbita and abalone H. roei along the West Australian coast;
- Toxicity of oil and dispersants to Australian bass (Macquaria novemaculeata).
