MOLLUSCS IN ECOTOXICOLOGICAL RESEARCH Ecotoxicology integrates studies related to ecological and toxicological effects of chemical pollutants and/or natural stressors on individuals, populations, communities and ecosystems with those dealing with the fate (transport, transformation and breakdown) of such pollutants in the environment. Molluscs are increasingly used as model organisms in ecotoxicology. The symposium will cover all fields of ecotoxicology in its broadest sense (descriptive studies of pollutant distribution and effects in individuals, development and evaluation of biomarkers, measurement techniques, biomonitoring, exposure and risk assessment, environmental protection and management etc.). Attention will be given to all different levels of biological organisation: cells, tissues, individuals, populations, communities and ecosystems.

The symposium “Molluscs and pest control” shall, therefore, cover a wide field of research activities including those related to refinements of existing methods to control molluscs, studies on new regulation methods and strategies, work on techniques to detect effects and side-effects of molluscicide agents, and studies on distinct responses of molluscs to (potential) molluscicides at different biological levels (e.g. behaviour, physiological, cellular or molecular reactions) by which distinct modes of action can be elucidated. Also contributions on fundamental research in biology of molluscs aimed at finding new, and possibly more specific instruments for pest control are welcome.

This is surprising as mollusc systems offer many advantages and opportunities to study basic visual processes that may be altered in the disease state, physiology of vision, development of the visual system, and evolution. As an example, recent work shows that cytoskeletal organization is regulated by the state of light and dark adaptation in cephalopods. We also know that some disease states in the retina affect the cytoskeleton. Studies on cephalopod photoreceptors could lead to a better understanding of the role of the cytoskeleton in photoreceptors and provide clues that link its organization to retinal disease. To take advantage and increase the use of molluscan eye models, there is a need to increase interactions between eye researchers and malacologists, who study the organism as a whole. Malacologists provide a detailed knowledge of the organism's ecology/habitat/niche that, when combined with expertise on the development XVI
