Funded Activity Summary
Molluscan Biomonitor for Quantification and Impact Assessment of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals in Marine Ecosystems. There is an urgent need to address the significant issue of contaminants with potential endocrine disrupting effects in Australian waters. Robust monitoring tools are required to establish whether estrogens are present in sewage effluents/waters in Australia and the potential impacts on aquatic ecosystems. Edible oysters are one of Australia's most valuable and fastest growing aquaculture industries. The proposed project will provide management bodies within Australian estuaries a sound scientific basis to make informed decisions to facilitate protection of both aquatic biodiversity and commercial aquaculture initiatives in response to estrogenic diffuse and point inputs.Funded Activity Details
