Journal Article
ROBERTSON, P.K.J., BLACK, K.D., ADAMS, M., WILLIS, K., BUCHAN, F., ORR, H., LAWTON, L. and McCULLAGH, C. 2009. A new generation of biocides for control of crustacea in fish farms. Journal of photochemistry and photobiology B: biology [online], 95(1), pages 58-63. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jphotobiol.2008.12.009

Farming of salmon has become a significant industry in many countries over the past two decades. A major challenge facing this sector is infestation of the salmon by sea lice. The main way of treating salmon for such infestations is the use of medici... Read More about A new generation of biocides for control of crustacea in fish farms..

Photocatalytic destruction of geosmin using novel pelleted titanium dioxide. (2008)
Journal Article
BELLU, E., LAWTON, L.A. and ROBERTSON, P.K.J. 2008. Photocatalytic destruction of geosmin using novel pelleted titanium dioxide. Journal of advanced oxidation technologies [online], 11(2), pages 384-388. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1515/jaots-2008-0225

Geosmin is produced by cyanobacteria and actinomycetes in surface waters. It causes undesirable earthy off-flavours in freshwater fish and is a major concern for the drinking water industry. This paper presents the first published study on the use of... Read More about Photocatalytic destruction of geosmin using novel pelleted titanium dioxide..

Bioavailability of organic contaminants in sediments. (2008)
Thesis
YATES, K. 2008. Bioavailability of organic contaminants in sediments. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

The bioavailability of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and chlorobiphenyls (CBs) in sediments is largely dependent on the freely dissolved concentration of these pollutants. However, measuring these is challenging, due to the low concentratio... Read More about Bioavailability of organic contaminants in sediments..
