Thetis to be at the international PRIMO congress (19th - 22nd June 2005)

Thetis will take part at the 13th international PRIMO - Pollutant Responses Marine Organisms - congress to be held in Alessandria from 19th-22nd June 2005, in order to present a report entitled “The grass goby Zosterisessor ophiocephalus an ecological risk assessment of Venice lagoon: working towards an integrated eco-toxicological approach”.
Said report has been drawn up by Cristina Nasci, Elisa Volpato, Daniela M. Pampanin (ISMAR-CNR-VE), Chiara Castellani, Andrea Berton, Eugenia Delaney (Thetis Spa) and Luisa Da Ros (CNR-ISMAR VE).
Some of the results achieved during the first two years of the C Line of the ICSEL project drawn up by the Consorzio Venezia Nuova - Magistrato alle Acque di Venezia (New Venice Consortium - Venice Water Authority) will be presented.
The “go” fish, found in different parts of Venice lagoon and to which a complete set of biomarkers was applied, was used as “sentinel” organisms in order to make an initial assessment of the ecological risk linked to exposure to the pollution of the lagoon.
Verranno esposti alcuni dei risultati conseguiti nei primi due anni della linea C del progetto ICSEL, realizzato per il Consorzio Venezia Nuova - Magistrato alle Acque di Venezia. Il pesce “go” proveniente da diverse aree della Laguna di Venezia è stato utilizzato, con l’applicazione di una batteria completa di biomarker, come organismo sentinella per una valutazione precoce del rischio ecologico connesso all’esposizione all’inquinamento lagunare.
