Changes in yellow perch diets associated with nanosilver exposure in freshwater lakes
(2017)Freshwater lake experiments on the effects of nanosilver were completed at the Experimental Lakes Area in northwestern Ontario. Since nanosilver has antibacterial properties it is expected to have negative effects on ... -
The effects of lake acidification on small-bodied fish populations
(2024)Industrialization has had adverse effects on the environment. Through mining and burning of fossil fuels, acidic precursors are emitted into the atmosphere creating acid rain. Acid rain is then deposited into freshwater ... -
The effects of nanosilver on northern pike
(2018)Nanosilver (nAg) is an effective anti-microbial agent that is being increasingly used in consumer products. With such an expansive list of products incorporating nAg, the risk of environmental release is high. Studies ... -
Energy density of fish within an aquaculture experiment
(2024)Understanding how small-bodied fish are affected by aquaculture is important to help complete the picture on how aquaculture affects all levels of the ecosystem. I analysed the energy density for small-bodied fish in the ... -
The invasion of dreissenid mussels into Lake Simcoe and their effect on benthic invertebrates
(2021)The establishment of dreissenid mussels (zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha and the quagga mussel Dreissena rostriformis bugensis) in Lake Simcoe in 1997 and 2008, respectively, in Lake Simcoe has drastically altered ...
