2. Project Title: Behavioural effects of environmental pollution on threespine stickleback and guppy

3. Project Focus:

• Project Primary Focus: Ecological Effects
• Project Secondary Focus: Human Health Effects

4. Description:

Exposure of threespine stickleback and guppy to low concentrations of oestrogenous substanses, and investigate behavioural disruption. Behaviour may be used as a tool to detect effects of environmental pollution at an early stage, since behaviour have ben shown to be sensitive to exposure of chemicals
