Erik Sandblom is a Professor at the University of Gothenburg, focusing on comparative physiology and animal ecophysiology, particularly regarding fish species. His research aims to investigate cardiovascular and respiratory physiology in relation to environmental challenges such as temperature, oxygen availability, and salinity. His laboratory examines the physiological responses of fish under stress from warming climates and aquaculture practices. Ongoing projects in his lab study thermal tolerance and the adaptive mechanisms of wild Eurasian perch as they live and reproduce in a uniquely heated environment near a nuclear power plant in Sweden. Additionally, his work in aquaculture emphasizes the welfare of farmed fish, assessing physiological indices under various stressors encountered during production. Sandblom has published extensively in multiple journals, contributing significant findings to the field of fish physiology and welfare. His research aligns with current global environmental challenges, particularly the impact of climate change on aquatic ecosystems, and aims to provide insights into improving fish production practices and welfare in intensive farming settings.
Administered by the Department of Political Science; focus on International Administration and Global Governance (IAGG).
