Although fish is widely consumed by humans for its nutritional properties, accumulation of
heavy metals can pose serious health hazards. Widespread common carp Cyprinus carpio …

Valley fill mining has the potential to alter headwater stream habitat in many areas in the
eastern United States. In valley fill mining, overburden is removed to expose underlying coal …

Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and gibel carp
(Carassius auratus gibelio) were exposed to copper (1–20μM) in softened Antwerp City tap …

The speciation of Pb, Cu, Zn and Sb in a shooting range run-off stream were studied during
a period of 23 days. In addition, metal accumulation in gills and liver, red blood cell ALA-D …

We report data in this paper suggesting that fish irradiated to 0.5 Gy total body dose can
release factors into the water that signal other unexposed fish and cause induction of …

Assessing environmental quality often requires selection of indicators that can be employed
over large spatial scales and over long-time periods to assess the health and well-being of …

The Biotic Ligand Model (BLM) attempts to predict metal toxicity to aquatic organisms on the
basis of metal speciation and effects at the cell surface. Current versions of the BLM for silver …

This study examined the effect of aluminium (Al) on the filtering behaviour (shell opening or
gape) of the freshwater bivalve Anodonta cygnea L in neutral fresh water. Parallel …

We present an alternative approach to understand and assess vulnerability of wild fish
communities subjected to persistent heavy metal burdens from point-sources. The …

This study demonstrates the utility and sensitivity of histopathologic biomarkers by recording
lesions to the gill, liver and spleen in three spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) …
