English
This textbook offers a basic understanding of aquatic ecotoxicology from molecular to physiological levels for graduate and advanced undergraduate students. The book covers the guidelines and lab protocols used by international organizations for ecotoxicology studies, and discusses the challenges faced by aquatic organisms in a changing climate from an ecotoxicological perspective. Readers will learn about pollutants, contaminants and chemicals of emerging concern (CECs) in aquatic environments, their impacts on environmental and human health, and what techniques can be used to curb and control their adverse impacts. The book will be useful for students in aquatic ecotoxicology, environmental pollution and marine biochemistry.

She also consults as a Senior Contributing Scientist for the Environmental Defense Fund. Branders research encompasses the fields of toxicologyendocrinology and ecology; integrating molecular approaches with measurements at the organism and population level. Branders main focus is on the effects of stressors such as emerging pollutants plastics and changing climate on aquatic organisms but her research and teaching also spans the links between ecological and human health. She has a Ph.D. in Toxicology and Pharmacology from UC Davis (2011) and an M.S. in Environmental Science and Policy from Johns Hopkins University (2005). Although Brander has worked in academia for the past nine years following completion of an M.S. and prior to pursuing a Ph.D. she worked in industry as an Environmental Analyst and Project Scientist at Weston Solutions Inc.
