HAVBRUKS-Havbruk - en næring i vekst

Kan komponenter i råolje påvirke sentrale og regulerende gener i beinutviklingen?

Analyser av torskelarver som er eksponert for dispersjon (olje i vann) eller vannløselige fraksjoner av olje indikerer at disse ikke bare påvirker sentrale detoksifiseringsmekanismer men kan også påvirke dannelsen av skjelettet. Dette er første gang vi se r en sammenheng mellom skjelettutvikling ...
