Does intersex matter? A case study of rainbow darter in the Grand River
(University of Waterloo, 2016-12-21)Endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) are present in the environment and can have negative effects on the health of wildlife. Aquatic organisms residing near the outfalls of municipal wastewater effluent (MWWE) are chronically ... -
Growth of rainbow darter (Etheostoma caeruleum) in the Grand River watershed
(University of Waterloo, 2020-11-27)Assessment of growth is an important tool in fisheries assessment and management and provides valuable insight into biological responses to stressors in biomonitoring programs. A small-bodied fish species, rainbow darter ... -
Impacts of wastewater treatment plant effluent on energetics and stress response of rainbow darter (Etheostoma caeruleum) in the Grand River watershed
(Elsevier, 2018-10)The objective of this study was to assess the effects of municipal wastewater treatment plant effluent on the energetics and stress response of rainbow darter (Etheostoma caeruleum). Male and female rainbow darter were ... -
Modeling the emission, transport, and fate of key micropollutants and their treatment using novel titanium dioxide nanomaterials
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-31)Endocrine disruptive effects in fish have been observed in many watersheds worldwide. The presence of intersex (ova-testes) in particular is well-documented in the Grand River watershed in southern Ontario, and is associated ... -
Multi-stressor impacts on fish energetics and stress response: a comparison between lab and field studies
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-24)Aquatic organisms are continuously exposed to multiple environmental stressors that work cumulatively and synergistically to alter ecosystems. The objective of this study was to investigate the impacts of multiple stressors ... -
Wild fish responses to wastewater treatment plant upgrades in the Grand River, Ontario
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-24)Municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent is a major point source of contaminants (nutrients, pharmaceuticals, estrogens, etc.) which can harm aquatic life. Many studies have investigated the effects of WWTP ...
