Project description:The arctic ecosystems are increasingly exposed to pollution particularly from offshore petroleum extraction-related activities. The objective of the study is to map transcriptome responses in copepods of the arctic region in response to PAHs phenanthrene (Phe) and benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) found in crude-oil contaminants.

Project description:The experiment was designed to study the transcriptomic response of the centric diatom Skeletonema marinoi to the presence of cues from the grazer Calanus finmarchicus. Samples were collected in triplicate after 65 and 89 hours of exposure of diatom cells to the copepods. Control samples with no copepods were collected at the same time points.
