Environmental contaminants in muskrats and canvasbacks, Peace-Athabasca delta, 1992 / prepared for the Northern River Basins Study under project 2391-C1 by Mark Wayland.: R71-49/3-64E-PDF
"The Peace-Athabasca Delta is a rich, diverse ecosystem within the Peace and Athabasca River basins. Its inhabitants rely extensively on its natural resources. The potential for contamination of these resources from industrial and municipal sources located upstream has been one of their important concerns. This study examines pollutant burdens in two species of wildlife that are important to inhabitants of the Peace-Athabasca Delta: the fur-bearing muskrat and the canvasback duck. Juvenile (hatch-year) canvasbacks were collected from Flour Bay and near Goose Island, portions of the Athabasca Delta that can be expected to receive sediments from the Athabasca River on a regular basis. Juvenile muskrats were collected from Big Johnny Lake and Killer's Lake, two perched basins that probably receive sediments from the Athabasca River only during major floods"--Report summary.
