Metabolic implications of exposure to wastewater effluent in bluegill sunfish
Abstract
Effluent from wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) contains a complex mixture of contaminants and is a major worldwide source of aquatic pollution. We examined the effects of exposure to treated effluent from a municipal WWTP on the metabolic physiology of bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus). We studied fish that were wild-caught or experimentally caged (28 d) downstream of the WWTP, and compared them to fish that were caught or caged at clean …
