Abstract:Chemical pollution
can degrade aquatic ecosystems. Chinook
salmon
in contaminated habitats are vulnerable to health impacts from toxic
exposures. Few studies have been conducted on adverse health outcomes
associated with current levels and mixtures of contaminants. Fewer
still address effects specific to the juvenile life-stage of salmonids.
The present study evaluated contaminant-related effects from dietary
exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations and mixture profiles
in juvenile Chinook salmon fr… Show more
