Analysis for liver mixed function oxidase in fish : upper Athabasca River, 1992 / prepared for the Northern River Basins Study under project 2351-B1 by W. Lyle Lockart, Donald A. Metner, D.F. Rawn, R.J....: R71-49/3-104E-PDF
"The aquatic fauna of the northern rivers in Alberta are exposed to contaminants from pulp mill effluent, and other types of industrial and municipal effluents. Studies of sub-lethal effects on individuals can indicate an early response to environmental stress, and determine if further study is required to assess the ecological consequences for that population. For example, several recent studies in Canada have reported increased levels of mixed function oxygenase (MFO) activity, a sub-lethal effect, in the livers of fish collected near the effluents of pulp mills. ... The objective of this project was to examine MFO activity in fish collected from six sites on the upper Athabasca River, upstream and downstream of the bleached kraft pulp mill at Hinton"--Study perspective.
