Ecotoxicology of suspended and bottom sediments : Athabasca, Smoky and Peace rivers, June, 1995 / by Evan Dobson et al. : R71-49/3-135E

The objectives of this project were to (1) re-examine sediment toxicity at sites sampled previously on the Athabasca River, including the oil sands area, and (2) conduct toxicity testing on a number of additional collection sites on the Athabasca, Smoky and Peace rivers. Suspended and bottom sediment samples were tested using four species of freshwater benthic invertebrates in chronic exposure studies. The endpoints that were measured included survival, growth (amphipod, chironomid and mayfly) and reproduction (oligochaete worm). The test results were compared with standard reference sediment samples from Long Point Marsh, Ontario, for biological quality assurance.--Study perspective
