Fish Health and Reproductive Studies at Lake Erie Areas of Concern

Publisher: USGS | Science Center: Leetown Science Center (LSC, Kearneysville) | Format: URL

www.lsc.usgs.gov — This is a research project whose primary objective is to assess the health of selected fish species (brown bullhead and largemouth bass) and compare these findings with historic information on fish health in the individual rivers and with concurrent samples collected at reference sites. A secondary objective is to compare and correlate the fish More...

Relations between and among contaminant concentrations and biomarkers in black bass (Micropterus spp.) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio) from large U.S. rivers, 1995-2004

2008 | Publisher: Other (RSC Publishing, Journal of Environmental Monitoring) | Format: URL

www.rsc.org — Environmental contaminant and biomarker monitoring data from major U.S. river basins were summarized for black bass (Micropterus spp.) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio) sampled over a nine year period. Cumulative frequency distributions revealed taxon differences for many organochlorine residue concentrations, elemental contaminant concentrations, More...

September 2006 | Publisher: USGS | Format: URL

pubs.usgs.gov — This report documents the spatial trends in the concentrations of accumulative contaminants and assesses the contaminant effects on the fish from the Colorado River Basin.

Persistence of organochlorine chemical residues in fish from the Tombigbee River (Alabama, USA): Continuing risk to wildlife from a former DDT manufacturing facility

Publisher: Other (ScienceDirect (Elsevier)) | Format: URL

tinyurl.com — Organochlorine pesticide and total polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) concentrations were measured in largemouth bass from the Tombigbee River near a former DDT manufacturing facility at McIntosh, Alabama. Concentrations of DDT isomers in McIntosh bass remained unchanged from 1974 to 2004 and were four times greater than contemporary concentrations More...
