Monitoring aquatic environments receiving industrial effluents using small fish species 2: Comparison between responses of trout‐perch (Percopsis omiscomaycus) and white sucker (Catostomus commersoni) downstream of a pulp mill

Abstract To further evaluate the suitability of small fish species for sentinel monitoring, a comparison was made between the responses of trout-perch (Percopsis omiscomaycus) and the larger white sucker (Catostomus commersoni) under similar conditions of pulp mill effluent exposure and mobility. Fish were collected upstream and downstream of a thermomechanical pulp mill on the Kapuskasing River, Ontario, Canada, where the presence of a hydro …
