Research at the Key Lake uranium mill (Saskatchewan, Canada) suggests effluent
discharged from the mill affects energy stores of resident fish, but the mechanisms by which …

The Key Lake uranium milling operation (Saskatchewan, Canada) releases complex effluent
into the local watershed. The objective of the current study was to investigate whether fish …

Effectively treating domestic wastewater is paramount for preserving the health of aquatic
ecosystems. Various technologies exist for wastewater treatment, ranging from simple pond …

Understanding the effects of chemical toxicants on energetic processes is an important
aspect of ecotoxicology. However, the influence of toxicant concentration and time of …

Effluent from wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) contains a complex mixture of
contaminants and is a major worldwide source of aquatic pollution. We examined the effects …

Juvenile fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) were exposed from 10 to 100 days post-
hatch (dph) to metal mining effluent under simulated summer (20° C and 16/8 light/dark) or …

Elevated concentrations of arsenic, nickel, and molybdenum in aquatic systems around
northern Saskatchewan uranium mines are an environmental concern. Early life stage …

Anthropogenic release of uranium (U), originating from the nuclear fuel cycle or military
activities, may considerably increase U concentrations in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems …

We hypothesized that exposure to metal mining effluent would reduce the ability of young-of-
the-year fishes to accumulate energy reserves to survive the overwinter period (known as …

The winter stress syndrome hypothesis proposes that the combination of winter conditions
and contaminant exposure reduces overwinter survival in juvenile fishes, mainly due to …
