Tasks:

CNRS co-ordinates the studies in the French Pyrénées and provides physiological expertise (in term of blood ion analysis and electronic morpho-anatomy of gills) for all fish studied throughout the EMERGE project. Together with NIVA and UIBK-IZL, CNRS is responsible for analysis and interpretation of fish data for the entire project.
