GROUP NAME / RESEARCH INTEREST IN FEW WORDS:
NUPEM Fish Embryo Group is interested in studying the effects of the pollutants on zebrafish and Brazilian silverside development
SHORT SUMMARY OF RESEARCH INTEREST (MAX. 200 WORDS):
We are a young group interested on the effects of pollution, mainly PAH and metals, during zebrafish development. More recently, we have established a test with a local euryhaline fish species embryo, Atherinella brasiliensis, Brazilian silverside, to analyze various aspects of the toxicity of substances at different salinities.
