摘要
Resident salmon in the Campbell River are exposed to heavy metal contamination. In addition, salmon raised by the Quinsam River hatchery must pass through the Campbell River during their migration to salt water. In order to assess the hazards of metal contamination in the Campbell River to resident and transitory salmonids, chinook salmon eggs obtained from the Quinsam hatchery were exposed to varying degrees of metal contamination. The objective was to determine survival, effects on growth and hepatic metallothionein concentrations after long term exposure. Study materials, methods and results are discussed. Refs.
