Biomagnification of mercury through lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) food webs of lakes with different physical, chemical and biological characteristicsKaren A Kidd
Canadian Rivers Institute and Biology Department, University of New Brunswick, Saint John, NB, Canada E2L 4L5
Sci Total Environ 438:135-43. 2012....
Collapse of a fish population after exposure to a synthetic estrogenKaren A Kidd
Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Freshwater Institute, 501 University Crescent, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada R3T 2N6
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 104:8897-901. 2007..Our observations demonstrate that the concentrations of estrogens and their mimics observed in freshwaters can impact the sustainability of wild fish populations...
Low concentrations of selenium in stream food webs of eastern CanadaTimothy D Jardine
Canadian Rivers Institute and Department of Biology, University of New Brunswick, Saint John, NB, Canada
Sci Total Environ 409:785-91. 2011..Because concentrations were below known toxicity thresholds for fish and other consumers, these results suggest that Se is not an environmental issue in New Brunswick streams that do not receive direct inputs from mining activities...
Mercury concentrations in Arctic food fishes reflect the presence of anadromous Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus), species, and life historyHeidi K Swanson
Canadian Rivers Institute, University of New Brunswick, Saint John, New Brunswick E2L 4L5, Canada
Environ Sci Technol 44:3286-92. 2010..In contrast to semelparous anadromous species, biotransport of Hg by anadromous Arctic charr appears to be offset by increased growth of freshwater fishes...
Biochemical and histopathological effects in pearl dace (Margariscus margarita) chronically exposed to a synthetic estrogen in a whole lake experimentVince P Palace
Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Freshwater Institute, Winnipeg, Manitoba R3T 2N6, Canada
Environ Toxicol Chem 25:1114-25. 2006..Biochemical and histopathological impacts observed in fish exposed to EE2 in this study have not yet been linked to clear population level impacts in pearl dace. Monitoring of these populations is ongoing...
Comparison of mercury concentrations in landlocked, resident, and sea-run fish (Salvelinus spp.) from Nunavut, CanadaHeidi Swanson
Canadian Rivers Institute and Biology Department, University of New Brunswick, Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada
Environ Toxicol Chem 30:1459-67. 2011..21 µg/g) and other life history types. Our results are relevant to human health assessments and consumption guidance and will inform models of Hg accumulation in Arctic fish...
Increasing mercury in yellow perch at a hotspot in Atlantic Canada, Kejimkujik National ParkBrianna Wyn
Canadian Rivers Institute and Biology Department, University of New Brunswick, Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, E2L 4L5
Environ Sci Technol 44:9176-81. 2010..Mercury contamination currently poses a greater threat to loon health than a decade ago, and further reductions in anthropogenic emissions should be considered to reduce its impacts on ecosystem health...
Factors affecting water strider (Hemiptera: Gerridae) mercury concentrations in lotic systemsTimothy D Jardine
Canadian Rivers Institute and Department of Biology, University of New Brunswick, Saint John, New Brunswick E2L4L5, Canada
Environ Toxicol Chem 28:1480-92. 2009..They also suggest that striders may be more appropriate as a terrestrial rather than an aquatic Hg sentinel, underscoring the importance of understanding the origin of food for organisms used in contaminant studies...
Evidence of impaired health in yellow perch (Perca flavescens) from a biological mercury hotspot in northeastern North AmericaKatharina L Batchelar
Canadian Rivers Institute, University of New Brunswick, Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada
Environ Toxicol Chem 32:627-37. 2013..These findings raise concerns for the health of these perch as well as for other wild fish populations known to have similarly elevated Hg concentrations...
Food web analysis reveals effects of pH on mercury bioaccumulation at multiple trophic levels in streamsTimothy D Jardine
Canadian Rivers Institute and Department of Biology, University of New Brunswick, Saint John, NB E2L 4L5, Canada Electronic address
Aquat Toxicol 132:46-52. 2013....
