As an intermediate stage of complexity, fish embryos will be used as a tool to mediate the transfer of data compiled at the molecular and cellular levels (WPs 3 and 4) to intact, fully developed fish (WP 6). To this end, similar endpoints as in WP 4 will be recorded in modified zebrafish embryo assays [85]. In addition, extension of the test duration will allow adding of teratogenic effects to the list of endpoints.

Effect-Net is a multi- and transdisciplinary project that intends to generate a toolbox for multi-scale chemical effects as a basis for a holistic effect-based risk evaluation, and for sociocultural governance aiming at personal and political responsibility as well as a reduction of emissions of hazardous chemicals into aquatic environments. The focus is on the development of a multi-scale network for the identification and evaluation of the biological hazards posed by emerging high-consumption
