Impacts of contaminants and nutrients in bleached kraft : mill effluent on benthic insect and periphyton communities: assessments using artificial streams, Athabasca River, 1993 and 1994 / by Joseph M....R71-49/3-92E

The objective of this project was to differentiate between the effects of bleached kraft mill effluent (BKME) and nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus) additions on benthic algae and invertebrate (primarily insects) communities. A transportable artificial stream system located alongside the Athabasca River at Hinton was used for the experiment. The measured response variables included: ash-free dry biomass and chlorophyll a of algae, the abundance and composition of benthic insects, and the average weight and growth of individual insects.--Study perspective
