| acute toxicity of copper, lead, cadmium, and zinc to early life stages of white sturgeon (acipenser transmontanus) in laboratory and columbia river water. | populations of white sturgeon (acipenser transmontanus) are in decline in north america. this is attributed, primarily, to poor recruitment, and white sturgeon are listed as threatened or endangered in several parts of british columbia, canada, and the united states. in the columbia river, effects of metals have been hypothesized as possible contributing factors. previous work has demonstrated that early life stage white sturgeon are particularly sensitive to certain metals, and concerns over th ... | 2014 | 24920427 |
| functionality of aryl hydrocarbon receptors (ahr1 and ahr2) of white sturgeon (acipenser transmontanus) and implications for the risk assessment of dioxin-like compounds. | worldwide, populations of sturgeons are endangered, and it is hypothesized that anthropogenic chemicals, including dioxin-like compounds (dlcs), might be contributing to the observed declines in populations. dlcs elicit their toxic action through activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (ahr), which is believed to regulate most, if not all, adverse effects associated with exposure to these chemicals. currently, risk assessment of dlcs in fishes uses toxic equivalency factors (tefs) developed ... | 2014 | 24950391 |
| effects of columbia river water on early life-stages of white sturgeon (acipenser transmontanus). | the white sturgeon (acipenser transmontanus) population that resides in the columbia river in british columbia (bc), canada, has suffered recruitment failures for more than three decades. during the summers of 2008 and 2009, studies were performed to determine whether exposure to water downstream of a metal smelter in trail, bc affected survival or growth of early life-stages of white sturgeon through 60+ days post-fertilization (dpf). in both years, there were no significant differences in surv ... | 2014 | 24507122 |
