BIO5008 Ecotoxicology
Supervising Master and PhD studentsMy research interest is to study how environmental contaminants affect molecular mechanisms in fish and other organisms. During my early years as a scientist my research focused on heavy metals (Cd, Cu and Zn), and how elevated levels and speciation of these elements affect brown trout in mining-contaminated rivers in Norway.
As a researcher at NIFES from 2003 and onwards (merged with the Institute of Marine Research from 2018), the focus was on studying how chemicals found in aquafeed and seafood affect fish. Chemicals enriched in aquafeed, including heavy metals, various POPs like PCBs, dioxins, brominated flame retardants, and pesticides, may pose a health risk to fish. Studied fish species included Atlantic salmon, rainbow trout, brown trout, Atlantic cod, Atlantic herring, tusk and burbot, and zebrafish.
To reduce the number of experimental animals, in vitro methods were developed and used to test toxicity in fish. Cell cultures can be used as a model for studying fish nutrition and adverse effects of contaminants. Using hepatocytes isolated from salmon we established tools for seafood safety research. The fish cell models were also used in mixture toxicology research, to search for interaction effects between chemicals and between chemicals and nutrients. In recent years, we have also studied the impact of pesticides used against salmon lice infestation on non-target crustaceans such as lobster and shrimps found near the fish farms.
For the last decade or so, the main tool to study the impact of chemicals on fish and crustaceans has been toxicogenomics. Toxicogenomics is the study of the structure and function of the genome as it responds to cellular exposure to xenobiotics, and combines toxicology with genomics or other high-throughput molecular profiling technologies such as transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics. The group is today routinely using transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics methods to assess the mode of action of chemicals found in seafood.
In 2017, I joined Nord University. At Nord University, my research focuses on aquatic ecotoxicology, with special emphasis on environmental challenges associated with aquaculture. Currently I have running projects on microplastics and impact of aquaculture, and on impact of deposition of mine tailings in fjords on pelagic species such as copepods and fish larvae (the DiTail project).
