A subchronic in situ exposure method for evaluating effects in small‐bodied fish at contaminated sites

In situ fish-caging studies at contaminated sites can provide information that is more realistic compared to traditional laboratory-based studies. However, few methods have been developed for exposing sentinel fish species for subchronic durations, and fewer still are optimized for exposing small-bodied fish while maintaining fish health and growth throughout the caging trial. Those methods typically lack a feeding regimen during the fish …
