“…In contrast, survival in the Wateree River water was less than that in both control waters. Although Burton et al (1983) detected no chlorinated phenols in the Wateree River, their detection limits were 10-fold higher than those in our study.…”

“…Mortality of larval striped bass in water from the Wateree River was previously documented and attributed to the low hardness, alkalinity, and conductivity of the river water (Burton et al 1983). However, striped bass have historically survived and reproduced in the soft fresh water of the Santee, Congaree, and Wateree rivers, although such water quality conditions may not be optimal for their survival.…”

The toxicity of water from three rivers in the Santee-Cooper drainage of South Carolina was evaluated in a series of on-site studies with larval striped bass Mor one saxatilis. Mortality and swimming behavior were assessed daily for larvae exposed to serial dilutions of water collected from the Santee, Congaree, and Wateree rivers. After 96 h, cumulative mortality was 90% in the Wateree River, and a dose-response pattern was evident in serial dilutions of the water. Larvae exposed to water from the Santee and Congaree rivers swam lethargically, but no appreciable mortality was observed. Acutely toxic concentrations of inorganic contaminants were not detected in the rivers; however, pentachloroanisole, a methylated by-product of pentachlorophenol, was twice as high in the Wateree River as it was in the other two rivers. Phenolic compounds may have contributed to larval mortality in the Wateree River and to lethargic activity of larvae in the Santee and Congaree rivers.

The pulp and paper (P&P) industry worldwide has achieved substantial progress in treating both process water and wastewater, thus limiting the discharge of pollutants to receiving waters. This review covers a variety of wastewater treatment methods, which provide P&P companies with costeffective ways to limit the release of biological or chemical oxygen demand, toxicity, solids, color, and other indicators of pollutant load. Conventional wastewater treatment systems, often comprising primary clarification followed by activated sludge processes, have been widely implemented in the P&P industry. Higher levels of pollutant removal can be achieved by supplementary treatments, which can include anaerobic biological stages, advanced oxidation processes, bioreactors, and membrane filtration technologies. Improvements in the performance of wastewater treatment operations often can be achieved by effective measurement technologies and by strategic addition of agents including coagulants, flocculants, filter aids, and optimized fungal or bacterial cultures. In addition, P&P mills can implement upstream process changes, including dissolved-air-flotation (DAF) systems, filtration save-alls, and kidney-like operations to purify process waters, thus reducing the load of pollutants and the volume of effluent being discharged to end-of-pipe wastewater treatment plants.

“…Vuorinen & Vuorinen (1987) found that hatching of brown trout in 2% bleached kraft mill effluent (BKME) was lower, and that sac fry were shorter than the control group and died within three weeks after hatching. Burton et al (1983) did not observe any changed mortality or delayed hatching of stripped bas egg exposed to BKME. Egg from unexposed rainbow trout fertilized and incubated in BKME showed no changes in hatching frequency, and the growth rate of sac fry was higher (Grotell, pers: comm.).…”

Egg hatchability and fry development are considered to be the sensitive stages of fish to different chemical toxicants and effluents. Effects of chemical pulp mill effluents on reproduction and early life stages have been studied in laboratory (Tana & Nikunen 1986, Vuorinen & Vuorinen 1987 and in these studies a negative impact on egg or sperm viability and embryo and fry quality were demonstrated. On the other hand, in laboratory studies with secondary treated thermomechanical pulp mill effluent, no effects on hatching of the eggs or hatchability of the second generation eggs of fathead minnow were observed (Kovacs et al, 1995). The succes of reproduction and survival of fry can, however, depend on other factors than direct toxic effects on egg and fry. Pre-exposure of the parent fish may be an important initiator to effects on reproduction. Under laboratory conditions, a standard egg and fry test with zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio) is often used when testing the toxicity of a substance or an effluent. Feral fish species, however, have been used to a limited extent in reproduction studies.The objective of this study was to determine the effects of both untreated and treated effluent from a mill producing magazine paper from mechanical pulp on the early life stages from pre-exposed sexually mature brown trout (Salmo trutta) under laboratory conditions. Brown trout is a cold water species and is therefore adapted to conditions found in the receiving waters in boreal regions. The parental fish exposure included the last four months prior to spawning when gametes reach their final size and maturation. MATERIALS AND METHODSThe mill investigated is an integrated magazine paper mill. Thermomechanical and stone ground wood pulp are produced from spurce (Picea abies), and hydrogen peroxide is used as the bleaching agent. The effluent treatment plant includes secondary treatment, followed by flotation. The secondary treatment comprises an anaerobic stage followed by an aerobic stage with activated sludge plant. The tested effluents were sampled daily before and after the biological treatment system and mixed to week samples and stored in cold (+ 4 C o ). The chemical oxygen demand (COD Cr ) in the untreated effluent was 1500 mg/l and in the treated effluent
