| a screening-level assessment of lead, cadmium, and zinc in fish and crayfish from northeastern oklahoma, usa. | the objective of this study was to evaluate potential human and ecological risks associated with metals in fish and crayfish from mining in the tri-states mining district (tsmd). crayfish (orconectes spp.) and fish of six frequently consumed species (common carp, cyprinus carpio; channel catfish, ictalurus punctatus; flathead catfish, pylodictis olivaris; largemouth bass, micropterus salmoides; spotted bass, m. punctulatus; and white crappie, pomoxis annularis) were collected in 2001--2002 from ... | 2006 | 16791710 |
| concentrations of cadmium, lead, and zinc in fish from mining-influenced waters of northeastern oklahoma: sampling of blood, carcass, and liver for aquatic biomonitoring. | the tri-states mining district (tsmd) of missouri (mo), kansas (ks), and oklahoma (ok), usa, was mined for lead (pb) and zinc (zn) for more than a century. mining ceased more than 30 years ago, but wastes remain widely distributed in the region, and there is evidence of surface- and groundwater contamination in the spring river-neosho river (sr-nr) system of northeastern ok. in october 2001, we collected a total of 74 fish from six locations in the sr-nr system that included common carp (cyprinu ... | 2005 | 15981034 |
| climate change simulations predict altered biotic response in a thermally heterogeneous stream system. | climate change is predicted to increase water temperatures in many lotic systems, but little is known about how changes in air temperature affect lotic systems heavily influenced by groundwater. our objectives were to document spatial variation in temperature for spring-fed ozark streams in southern missouri usa, create a spatially explicit model of mean daily water temperature, and use downscaled climate models to predict the number of days meeting suitable stream temperature for three aquatic ... | 2014 | 25356982 |
