Polar cod effects from petroleum exposure (Polar cod, lipid metabolism and disruption by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons)

This project will combine advanced methodologies from several fields of science to attain the most complete understanding of the uptake and potential effects of petroleum related compounds on a key species in the Arctic food chain - the polar cod. The following objectives will be addressed:

1) Determining the bioavailability of ingested PAHs in polar cod by testing the importance of exogenous and endogenous factors.

2) Identifying the implication of the nuclear receptor PPAR in the toxicity of PAHs and the associated cellular cascade of events including disruption of lipid homeostasis and oxidative damage.

3) Identifying the long-term biological consequences (growth, reproduction, and carcinogenicity) of a PAH exposure at the organismal level.

4) Creating a forum for sharing existing and new knowledge on polar cod and publishing a special issue covering all aspects of its ecotoxicology and biology. Chemistry and physiology data including growth data, plasma chemistry, biomarker results, statistical output
