Characteristics of fish plant wastes in Nova Scotia and their effects on coastal bays. III, Toxicity studies / P.G. Wells and J.R. Schneider, Toxicity Evaluation Section, Environmental Services Branch,... : En42-1/8-75-4E-PDF
"Most effluents from the three processing plants were non-lethal to fingerling rainbow trout, salt-water adjusted rainbow trout and mummichogs. One effluent of high BOD, collected from a fish unloading facility, was acutely toxic to rainbow trout. Different rates of aeration and filtration did not change acute toxicities of any effluent. There was insufficient data on production and effluent characteristics to generalize on the non-lethality of specific fish plant effluents. However, it is apparent that effluents of the fish plants, sampled while varied species of fish were being processed, were generally non-lethal to test organisms, and in this sense potentially much less damaging than effluents from several other types of processing facilities in the Maritime provinces"--Abstract, page ii.
