| fingerprinting pcb patterns among mohawk women. | this study examined the association of contaminated fish consumption and polychlorinated biphenyl (pcb) body burden by comparing the similarity of the congener pattern in yellow perch, caught near the point source of industrial pollution, and in other local fish to the pattern found in the breast milk of mohawk women from akwesasne, a native american community located along the st. lawrence river in new york, ontario, and quebec. the similarity is defined by the weighted euclidean distance betwe ... | 2001 | 11477516 |
| branchial cadmium and copper binding and intestinal cadmium uptake in wild yellow perch (perca flavescens) from clean and metal-contaminated lakes. | branchial binding kinetics and gastro-intestinal uptake of copper and cadmium where examined in yellow perch (perca flavescens) from a metal-contaminated lake (hannah lake, sudbury, ontario, canada) and an uncontaminated lake (james lake, north bay, ontario, canada). an in vivo approach was taken for gill binding comparisons while an in vitro gut binding assay was employed for gastro-intestinal tract (git) uptake analysis. by investigating metal uptake at the gill and the gut we cover the two ma ... | 2007 | 17643503 |
| telemetry-determined habitat use informs multi-species habitat management in an urban harbour. | widespread human development has led to impairment of freshwater coastal wetlands and embayments, which provide critical and unique habitat for many freshwater fish species. this is particularly evident in the laurentian great lakes, where such habitats have been severely altered over the last century as a result of industrial activities, urbanization, dredging and infilling. in toronto harbour, extensive restoration efforts have been directed towards improving the amount and quality of aquatic ... | 2017 | 27744518 |
