Research is described in four project areas: A basin-wide survey of biochemical responses to organochlorines and other contaminants in major fish species; a basin-wide survey of the toxicity in bottom and suspended sediments; an assessment of the utility of semi-permeable membrane devices as potential substitutes for wild fish in a long-term monitoring program; and assessment of the feasibility of using small, locally resident fish species as alternates to large adult fish in a long-term biological effects monitoring program.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Northern River Basins Study Synthesis Report No. 2</style></notes><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biology</style></custom1><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Athabasca River, Peace River, Slave River</style></custom2><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/36044975</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OSEMB</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
