This searchable dataset currently contains
the following information:
-
Contaminant concentrations (elemental and
organochlorines)
-
Fish health indicators (condition
factor, somatic indices, health assessment index, macrophage
aggregate parameters)
-
Reproductive biomarkers (steroid hormones, vitellogenin, gonadal histology)
Biochemical, physiological,
morphological, and histopathological endpoints were chosen to integrate responses at multiple levels of biological
organization. These data have been compared spatially and
temporally by examining trends of various persistent
contaminants and incorporating existing information from other
monitoring efforts.
