16. Uptake and bioaccumulation of ionizable pharmaceuticals in aquatic organisms
Sammanfattning : Pharmaceuticals are found at low concentrations (ng/L) in aquatic environments but bioaccumulation may result in aquatic organisms reaching internal effect levels (µg/L). Environmental hazard assessments include standardized bioaccumulation tests but contrary to the model substances around which the frameworks are built most pharmaceuticals are designed to mimic endogenic chemicals, ionizable, and less lipophilic.

17. Pelagic microorganisms in the northern Baltic Sea : Ecology, diversity and food web dynamics
Sammanfattning : Heterotrophic microorganisms are important for the flow of carbon and nutrients in the sea. Bacteria, nanoflagellates and ciliates are relevant components of the pelagic food web. In order to be able to predict the outcome of e.g. LÄS MER
18. Predatory processes in Baltic benthos
Sammanfattning : The Baltic soft-bottom community is uniquely simple, with only a few benthic macro-faunal species, and is therefore well suited for mechanistic studies of inter-specific interactions. Two of the dominating organisms in this benthic community are the amphipod Monoporeia affinis and the bivalve Macoma balthica. Field surveys have shown that M. LÄS MER
19. Bacterioplankton in the Baltic Sea : influence of allochthonous organic matter and salinity
Sammanfattning : Climate change is expected to increase the precipitation ~30% in higher latitudes during the next century, increasing the land runoff via rivers to aquatic ecosystems. The Baltic Sea will receive higher river discharges, accompanied by larger input of allochthonous dissolved organic matter (DOM) from terrestrial ecosystems. LÄS MER
20. Persistent organic pollutants in benthic foodwebs
Sammanfattning : Concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in aquatic biota are dependent on several factors both on individual and on system level. Bioaccumulation of POPs in pelagic biota in lakes as well as fish in streams has been shown to be dependent on nutrient regime of the system. LÄS MER
