Response of hepatic mfo activity and plasma sex steroids to secondary treatment of bleached kraft pulp mill effluent and mill shutdown
Abstract The discharge of bleached kraft mill effluent (BKME) into Jackfish Bay, Lake Superior, Canada, has been associated with a number of changes in the physiology and whole organism responses of four fish species. Current studies have been following physiological indicators of BKME impact for ev...
