Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
One of the main areas of investigation is environmental pollution, particularly in aquatic environments. Environmental pollutants cause detrimental effects in both the adult phase and during development (as in larvae and fry) by penetrating and spreading across trophic webs.
There is a steady rise in the quantity of novel environmental pollutants that affect aquatic environments. Furthermore, their potential to have hazardous effects when combined with other contaminants presents a serious risk to public health.
We specifically need review articles and original research that address the processes involved in the effects of pollutants on marine species and the marine environment.
Publication of high-quality research studies directly pertaining to the following issues is encouraged. Innovative methods for research are welcomed.
- Marine pollutants;
- Environmental Risk Assessment;
- Aquatic ecotoxicology;
- Effects on aquatic organisms.
