  1. 1. Can blue mussel shells be used for retrospective 14C-analysis in the marine environment of nuclear power plants?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik

    Author : Sofia Bjarheim; [2024]
    Keywords : Radionuclide; Marine Environment; Blue Mussels; 14C; Nuclear Power Plant; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Carbon-14 (14C) is one of the most important contributors to the collective effective dose of the public due to radioactive releases from nuclear power plants. However, the discharge of 14C from nuclear power plants (NPPs) into water has not been measured previously. READ MORE

  3. 2. Incorporation of climate effects in marine spatial planning. Possible Climate Refugia on the Swedish West Coast Based on Two Climate Scenarios

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för marina vetenskaper

    Keywords : Glochidia larvae; Infestation class; General dominance behavior; Dominant subordinate; Strikes;

    Abstract : The glochidia larvae of the freshwater pear mussel parasitize on juvenile brown trout during their maturation into tiny mussels. The parasitation has several negative impacts on the trout, one of the less studied being behavioral effects. READ MORE

  5. 4. EVALUATING TRANSCRIPTOME ASSEMBLY POTENTIAL BY DIFFERENT DE NOVO SEQUENCE ASSEMBLER TYPES

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Luan Gardenalli; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : With the rise of NGS technologies, the transcriptomes of non-model organisms can be reconstructed even with the absence of a reference genome, using de novo assembly tools. There is a wide range of de novo assembly tools frequently being developed, however, there is a still a knowledge gap about the different effects and efficiency of different de novo assembly software types for RNA-seq assembly.

  6. 5. Mussel farming along the south-Swedish coasts - a possible solution to eutrophication?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : David Trulsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Mussel farming; Aquaculture; Spatial suitability analysis; Eutrophication; Baltic Sea; Biology and Life Sciences; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The concept of mussel farming as a mitigator to nutrient pollution is steadily spreading. The southernmost part of Sweden borders the Baltic Sea where the water quality differs between the costs, however, all are affected by eutrophication. READ MORE
