  1. 16. Food For Thought: Can Nudging On Food Products Reduce Carbon Footprint?

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomi

    Author : Eugénie de Jong; Carl Widstrand; [2021]
    Keywords : Nudge; Meat consumption; Greenhouse gases; Online experiment;

    Abstract : In addressing ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions related to private consumption, we test whether nudging can be used to influence Swedish consumers' food choices in a more sustainable direction - that is, reducing their meat and fish consumption. We design two pro-environmental nudge schemes that speak to different decision-making processes: one cognitive and one affective. READ MORE

  3. 17. Efficiency of diatom and flagellate-based marine food webs.

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Yasmina Hamladji; [2021]
    Keywords : phytoplankton; flagellate; diatoms; ciliates food web efficiency; fungi;

    Abstract : Aquatic microbial food webs are in general size structured. Phytoplankton, which constitute the base of the food web, are grazed by protozoa and mesozooplankton, which in turn are consumed by planktivorous fish. Food web efficiency (FWE) is a measure of how efficiently energy is transported up the food web. READ MORE

  4. 18. Lake Vättern Fish: From the Water to the Consumers : ecosystem-based fisheries management assessment, fish & fish products distribution channels of lake Vättern

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Felix Isimemen-Wealth; [2021]
    Keywords : ecosystem-based fisheries management; adaptive co-management; Lake Vättern; supply value chain;

    Abstract : This study assessed the Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Management (EBFM) of Lake Vättern by using the EBFM objectives as spelt out by Engler et al. (2015) and Long et al. (2015). In order to fully understand the fish and fish products distribution channels, it was necessary to understand the lake’s fisheries and their management. READ MORE

  5. 19. Assessment of zebrafish embryo toxicity of environmentally relevant antibiotics

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Ophelia Mastrangeli; [2021]
    Keywords : zebrafish embryo; toxicity; antibiotics; FET; Fish embryo toxicity; Bioaccumulation; zebrafiskembryo; toxicitet; antibiotika; FET; Bioackumulering;

    Abstract : Antibiotics are essential drugs in modern medicine. After consumption antibiotics are excreted in unmetabolized form in the urine and reach our sewage treatment plants (STP). STP are not able to degrade all antibiotics leading to release of antibiotics into the aquatic environment. Aquatic animals are thus continuously exposed to antibiotics. READ MORE

  6. 20. HgII uptake in Geobacter sulfurreducens spheroplasts : Thiols’ role in Hg partitioning and methylation

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Andreas Eriksson; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Mercury (Hg) is a naturally occurring trace element and pollutant that is ubiquitous in aquatic ecosystems. All Hg species are hazardous, but methylmercury (MeHg) is the most alarming due to its neurotoxicity, teratogenicity, and bioaccumulation in the food web. READ MORE
