We like you to apply methods to detect stress levels in mussels and examine stress levels in mussels that have been exposed to different stressors. In advance experiments can be carried under controlled conditions where we can test different effects of different stressors.

Research type: desk study, sampling & experiments (HZ, Vlissingen)

Research level: internship (BSc. level)

Perquisite: preferably affinity with biology and chemistry, precise, dedicated, analytical skills

Partners: Several major Mussel farmers, Imares, Centre of Expertise Delta Technology

Researcher involved: research group aquaculture (Eva Hartog & Jacob Capelle)
