Antioxidant Defence Response in Non-Target Fishes Following Pharmaceutical Wastewater Effluent Exposure
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-05)The Grand River watershed extends throughout the majority of Southern Ontario with its final outlet at Lake Erie and accommodates thirty wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) with varying types and degrees of treatment. ... -
Changes in Gill Physiology and Energy Requirements of Darter Species (Etheostoma spp.) due to Effluent in the Grand River
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-18)The effluent from municipal wastewater treatment plants is a major point source of contamination in Canadian waterways. Improvement of effluent quality to reduce contaminants like pharmaceuticals and personal care products, ... -
Exploring the energetic and behavioural changes associated with the immune response in zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-23)With the world’s population continuously increasing, humanity constantly needs to figure out ways to increase food production to meet growing demands. One way to increase food production that has had exponential growth in ... -
Impacts of acute and anthropogenic stress on fish microRNA
(University of Waterloo, 2021-12-21)Fishes play crucial roles in the ecology of aquatic environments and contribute to the multi-billion-dollar fisheries industry. The integrity of their populations and health needs to be maintained for future generations ... -
Impacts of wastewater treatment plant effluent and pharmaceutical exposure on innate cytokine expression of darters (Etheostoma spp.) in the Grand River
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-10)Aquatic organisms, such as fish, are in constant contact with various stressors and antigenic material present within their environments. The impact of stressors associated with wastewater-exposed environments on native ... -
MicroRNAs and their role within the teleost (Oncorhynchus mykiss) stress response
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-26)The stress response is a highly conserved signalling cascade that signals between tissues to increase energy availability. Changes in glucose regulation are studied extensively due to the glucose intolerant phenotype of ... -
Multi-stressor impacts on fish energetics and stress response: a comparison between lab and field studies
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-24)Aquatic organisms are continuously exposed to multiple environmental stressors that work cumulatively and synergistically to alter ecosystems. The objective of this study was to investigate the impacts of multiple stressors ...
