Environmental contaminants in mink : Peace and Athabasca rivers, December, 1991 and January, 1992 / prepared for the Northern River Basins Study under project 2361-C1 by Mark Wayland.: R71-49/3-47E-PDF
"Among the guiding questions of the Northern River Basins Study, questions 4 and 11 ask about the nature and contents of the contaminants entering the system and about their effects on riparian wildlife, respectively. This report addresses those questions by focusing on contaminant levels in one riparian species, the mink. Analyses were done on mink that were collected from three sites: 15 km downstream from the Weyerhaeuser Canada pulp mill about 2 km from the Wapiti River on Bear and Olsen Creeks; on Galoot Lake on the Athabasca Delta and on creeks about 5 km from the Athabasca River and approximately 40 km downstream from Hinton. Prior to analyses, 10 mink livers were homogenized and pooled into three pools, representing the Wapiti River site, the Athabasca River site and the Athabasca Delta site"--Report summary.
