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...

www.lsc.usgs.gov — This research project measures the effects of estrogen and related contaminants on the expression of genes involved in the innate immune system of fish in rivers of the Chesapeake Bay Drainage. This project begs the question of whether or not hepcidin are expression and iNOS expression induced upon exposure to bacteria, and whether this induction More...

www.cerc.usgs.gov — This research project objective is to measure vtg and steroid hormones in sexually mature, adult razorback sucker over one annual -estradiol,ß reproductive cycle. We will measure vtg and steroid hormones (17 11-ketotestosterone, and testosterone) in blood plasma of razorback suckers once a month for one year to document concentrations throughout More...

pubs.usgs.gov — Water is among Florida's most valued resources. The State has more than 1,700 streams and rivers, 7,800 freshwater lakes, 700 springs, 11 million acres of wetlands, and underlying aquifers yielding quantities of freshwater necessary for both human and environmental needs (Fernald and Purdum, 1998). Although renewable, these water resources are More...
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...

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.
2006 | Publisher: USGS | Science Center: Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center (UMESC, LaCrosse) | Format: URL
www.umesc.usgs.gov — The Sediment-Contaminant Database for the Upper Mississippi River System (version 2) contains reliable sediment-contaminant data from a total of 3950 analyzed sediment samples collected from 1974 through 2000 from the Upper Mississippi River, the Illinois River, and selected tributary streams. Groups of contaminants represented in the database More...
Publisher: Other (San Francisco Estuary Institute (SFEI)) | Format: URL
sfei.org — The purpose of The Pulse is to make the most important information available on water quality in the San Francisco Estuary accessible to water quality managers, decision-makers, scientists, and the public. An article by USGS scientists Collin Eagles-Smith and Josh Ackerman on mercury bioaccumulation and effects on birds in San Francisco Bay More...
Publisher: USGS | Science Center: Fort Collins Science Center (FORT, Ft. Collins) | Format: URL
www.fort.usgs.gov — Encroaching development, overuse, and air- and waterborne contaminants from outside park boundaries are causing noticeable changes to water quality and ecosystem health and functioning. The Front Range metropolitan area from Fort Collins south to Colorado Springs includes 75 percent of Colorado's population and its most productive agricultural More...
Publisher: USGS | Science Center: Alaska Science Center (ASC, Anchorage) | Format: URL
www.absc.usgs.gov — This project is a joint effort for developing and testing protocols for collecting, processing, transporting, and storing seabird eggs collected at several Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge (AMNWR) colonies. Seabird Tissue Archival and Monitoring Project (STAMP) is a long-term, cooperative project that is currently collecting, processing, More...

www.cerc.usgs.gov — The primary goal of the proposed research is to evaluate selenium and atrazine exposure and effects to fish, amphibians, and waterfowl that utilize the Refuge. The following subordinate objectives will be met to investigate selenium exposure and effects to wildlife on the Refuge: 1.Measure selenium concentrations and total organic content in More...

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...
