Scientific expertise
Endocrine distrupters effects: hormonal change, histological change and biochemical change. Biomonitoring programs: Biomarkers of exposure and biomarkers of effects Biomarker of exposure: EROD, CAT, MDA, AchE, GST and BPH). Biomarkers of effects: Hormonal change, lysosomal membrane stability and phagocytosis Histology in fish, bivalves and crustaceans: liver, gills, digestive gland and gonad development.

Teaching I have been involved in teaching for practical and tutorials in: Marine Environment. Environmental survey (Biomonitoring). Biomarkers as environmental risk assessment. Fisheries biology and ecology (Ichthyology). Dynamics of exploited populations. I also supervise regularly research projects (Oceanopgraphy and Marine Biology) for undergraduate and MSc students Grafikk
