Fish consumption patterns and hair mercury levels in children and their mothers in 17 EU countries KU Leuven Universiteit Antwerpen
The toxicity of methylmercury (MeHg) in humans is well established and the main source of exposure is via the consumption of large marine fish and mammals. Of particular concern are the potential neurodevelopmental effects of early life exposure to low-levels of MeHg. Therefore, it is important that pregnant women, children and women of childbearing age are, as far as possible, protected from MeHg exposure. Within the European project ...
De l' "abus fiscal" ou Quand des actes juridiques du contribuable sont inopposables au fisc pour l'établissement de l'impôt: essai de cadre théorique et critique en droit belge Universiteit Antwerpen
Subcellular differences in handling Cu excess in three freshwater fish species contributes greatly to their differences in sensitivity to Cu Universiteit Antwerpen
Since changes in metal distribution among tissues and subcellular fractions can provide insights in metal toxicity and tolerance, we investigated this partitioning of Cu in gill and liver tissue of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and gibel carp (Carassius auratus gibelio). These fish species are known to differ in their sensitivity to Cu exposure with gibel carp being the most tolerant and rainbow trout the ...
Surface Steam Pasteurisation of Fish Products: Thermal Characterisation and Microbial Selection/Resistance (Oppervlakte-stoompasteurisatie van visproducten: Thermische karakterisatie en microbiële selectie/resistentie) KU Leuven
With the increasing market demands for minimally processed foods, processes that optimise bacterial reduction while minimising the thermal load are of continued interest. Fish, in particular, is very sensitive to thermal processing and often becomes tough and dry when exposed to excess heat. In several stages of food production, microbiological contamination is most likely to occur on the food surface. Hence, optimal heat processes, should ...
Primary validation of Charm II tests for the detection of antimicrobial residues in a range of aquaculture fish Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek
The study carried out a primary validation of Charm II tests for the detection of antimicrobial residues in aquaculture fish. The validation was performed according to European Commission Decision 2002/657/EC and the parameters determined included: detection capability, repeatability, reproducibility, specificity and robustness for the detection of antimicrobial residues in fish. Fish materials from different species including cat fish, trout, ...
Development of the integrated Fish Endocrine Disruptor Test (iFEDT) – part A Universiteit Antwerpen
There has been increasing interest in endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) among scientists and public authorities over the last 30 years, notably because of their wide use and the increasing evidence of detrimental effects on humans and the environment. However, test systems for the detection of potential EDCs as well as testing strategies still require optimization. Thus, the aim of the present project was the development of an integrated ...
Development of the integrated fish endocrine disruptor test — part B Universiteit Antwerpen
Given the vital role of thyroid hormones (THs) in vertebrate development, it is essential to identify chemicals that interfere with the TH system. Whereas, among nonmammalian laboratory animals, fish are the most frequently utilized test species in endocrine disruptor research, for example, in guidelines for the detection of effects on the sex hormone system, there is no test guideline (TG) using fish as models for thyroid‐related effects; ...
Evaluation of the European Fish Index Instituut voor Natuur- en Bosonderzoek
An important requirement for meeting obligations under the European Water Framework Directive is the development of a fish-based index that is able to predict the ecological status of surface waters, and particularly be able to distinguish between (nearly) pristine and disturbed conditions. The European Fish Index (EFI), based on the concept of the Index of Biological Integrity, was developed alongside alternative models such as the Spatially ...
