Metal bioavailability and toxicity to fish in low-alkalinity lakes: A critical review Metal bioavailability and toxicity to fish in low-alkalinity lakes: A critical review
Fish in low-alkalinity lakes having pH of 6·0–6·5 or less often have higher body or tissue burdens of mercury, cadmium, and lead than do fish in nearby lakes with higher pH. The greater bioaccumulation of these metals in such waters seems to result partly from the greater aqueous abundances of biologically available forms (CH3 Hg+, Cd2+, and Pb2+) at low pH. In addition, the low...

Metabolism and elimination of benzocaine by rainbow-trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss Metabolism and elimination of benzocaine by rainbow-trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss
1. Branchial and urinary elimination of benzocaine residues was evaluated in adult rainbow trout, oncorhynchus mykiss, given a single dorsal aortic dose of c-14-benzocaine hydrochloride.^2. Branchial elimination of benzocaine residues was rapid and accounted for 59.2% Of the dose during the first 3 h after dosing. Renal elimination of radioactivity was considerably slower; the kidney...

Development of water level regulation strategy for fish and wildlife, upper Mississippi River system Development of water level regulation strategy for fish and wildlife, upper Mississippi River system
Water level regulation has been proposed as a tool for maintaining or enhancing fish and wildlife resources in navigation pools and associated flood plains of the Upper Mississippi River System. Research related to the development of water level management plans is being conducted under the Long Term Resource Monitoring Program. Research strategies include investigations of cause and...

Contaminant exposure of willets feeding in agricultural drainages of the lower Rio Grande valley of south Texas Contaminant exposure of willets feeding in agricultural drainages of the lower Rio Grande valley of south Texas
Willets (Catoptrophorus semipalmatus) were collected in June and August 1986 at the outlets of two agricultural drainages into the Lower Laguna Madre of South Texas and at two other Texas coastal sites. Mean liver concentration of arsenic was higher in August than June. Over 20% of the livers had arsenic concentrations elevated above a suggested background level of 5.0 ppm dry weight (DW...

Green coloration of recently laid black-crowned night-heron eggs Green coloration of recently laid black-crowned night-heron eggs
Color of Black-crowned Night-Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax ) eggs of known laying order was quantified in a Wisconsin colony. Eggs were of greener intensity on the day of laying and one day thereafter than earlier laid eggs within a clutch. Egg color can be used to identify clutches within one day after clutch completion and to assign laying order within clutches during this period.

Wisconsin: A summary of cooperative water-resources investigations 1991 Wisconsin: A summary of cooperative water-resources investigations 1991
The objectives of this study are to provide continuous discharge records for selected rivers at specific sites to supply the needs for regulation, analytical studies, definition of statistical properties, trends analysis, determination of the occurrence, and distribution of water in streams for planning. The project is also designed to determine lake levels and to provide discharge for...
