Metal accumulation and toxicity in the Macquarie Island isopod, Exosphaeroma gigas Bachelor of Science (Hons), Deakin University, Australia, 2014 (Ref: 15547)
Authors:
Category 3: Thesis, higher degree

Macquarie Island currently has no specific water quality guidelines to indicate a safe level of contamination on the island. This study investigated the toxic effects and accumulation of Cu and Zn in the subantarctic invertebrate, Exosphaeroma gigas. Further to this…

Development of a Histopathology Fish Health Index as a Biomarker of Pollution Effect in East Antarctica Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) Asia Pacific and Australasia Conference, Adelaide, South Australia, 14-17 September 2014, 2014 (Ref: 15558)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Current interpretation of histological alteration in fish as an indicator of contaminant impact is subjective. Generally severity of alteration is poorly described, and does not allow direct comparison between studies. A histological health index (HHI) modified from Bernet et al (1999)…

Sensitivity and Response of Antarctic and sub-Antarctic Species to Fuel Contamination Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) Asia Pacific and Australasia Conference, Adelaide, South Australia, 14-17 September 2014, 2014 (Ref: 15454)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Fuel spills have occurred in Antarctic and sub-Antarctic regions, and comprehensive remediation strategies have recently been established to clean-up fuel spills at Australia’s Casey Station and Macquarie Island. However…

The effects of aged diesel fuel on subantarctic invertebrate and microbial communities Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) Asia Pacific and Australasia Conference, Adelaide, Australia, 14-17 September 2014, 2014 (Ref: 15385)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

An increase in high latitude human activities has resulted in an increased incidence of petroleum hydrocarbon spills in these areas. While a substantial body of research exists on remediation techniques for such contamination in warmer climes…

Toxicity of physically and chemically dispersed fuels to the Antarctic marine amphipod Paramoera walkeri Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) Asia Pacific and Australasia Conference, Adelaide, Australia, 14-17 September 2014, 2014 (Ref: 15382)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Antarctica is often considered a pristine wilderness, however, as human occupation and activities in the region increase, it is becoming increasingly apparent that this is not the case.
