Project


Project code: JKI-ÖPV-08-1349
Contract period: 01.01.2015 - 31.12.2018
Purpose of research: Inventory & Assessment
Keywords: ecotoxicology, small water bodies, mesocosm

Continous real-time monitoring of the behavior of sensitive indicator species during pesticide exposure enables the realistic assessment of pesticide effects on freshwater systems. This project assesses the toxic effects of single pesticides and pesticide mixtures in laboratory and mesocosm test systems using a Multispecies Freshwater Biomonitoring System.
