Effects of contaminants on aquatic organisms in the Peace, Athabasca and Slave River Basins / by J.H. Carey and O.T.R. Cordeiro. : R71-49/4-2E-PDF
"To determine whether contaminants in the NRBS study area were causing harmful effects on biota of the systems and identify methodologies for monitoring biological effects, the Contaminants Component developed a work plan with four primary objectives. These objectives were:• to conduct a basin-wide survey of biochemical responses to contaminants in at least one major resident fish species;• to conduct a basin-wide survey of toxicity in bottom and suspended sediments;• to assess the utility of semi-permeable membrane devices as substitutes for wild fish in long term biological effects monitoring;• to assess the feasibility of using small, locally-resident fish species as alternates to large adult fish in long term biological effects monitoring"--Summary.
