Chemical aspects of ocean acidification monitoring in the ICES marine area.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2013)
It is estimated that oceans absorb approximately a quarter of the total anthropogenic
releases of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere each year. This is leading to acidification
of the oceans, which has already been observed ...
Marine and coastal ecosystem-based risk management handbook.

Management of any environmental issue requires the application of management measures designed to eliminate, control, mitigate, or compensate for pressures related to the drivers of human activities to avoid potential ...
Protocol for measuring dioxin-like activity in environmental sample using in vitro reporter gene dr-luc assays.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2013)
Guidelines are given for the quantification of the dioxin-like activities of contaminants in sediment, biota and water samples using the DR-Luc reporter gene bioassay. Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds demonstrate high ...
Determination of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in sediment and biota.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2013)
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are environmental contaminants regulated by the Stockholm Convention of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), and are included on the OSPAR List of Chemicals for Priority Action due to their ...
Oyster embryo-larval bioassay (revised).
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2013)
The description of the oyster (Crassostrea gigas) embryo bioassay was initially published in the ICES TIMES series in 1991 (No.11). At the time, the bioassay was used in the United Kingdom for measuring water quality in ...
