Abstract The main objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of naturally occurring oil sands‐related compounds (OSRC) on reproductive function in fish in order to assess the impacts of anthropogenic point‐source inputs. The health of slimy sculpin (Cottus cognatus) and pearl dace (Semoti...
