EcoToxChip reveals immune and metabolic pathway disruption in fish chronically exposed to stormwater-impacted environments

Fateme Taridashti, Patricija Marjan, Markus Hecker, Kelly R. Munkittrick

Urban stormwater runoff is a growing concern for aquatic ecosystems because it contains complex mixture of nutrients and chemical contaminants. This study assessed molecular and physiological responses in wild fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) in the stormwater-dominated Nose Creek Watershed, Alberta, Canada. Adult …

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products in wastewaters

Kelly R. Munkittrick, Frederick John Wrona, Maricor J. Arlos, Mark Roy Servos

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products in wastewaters Despite progress in wastewater treatment, PPCPs like medications and personal care products continue to enter ecosystems, threatening aquatic life. Since 2020, the Bow River Ecosystem Health Assessment project in Alberta, Canada, has been evaluating the …

The Utility of Fish Population Monitoring and Forecast Trigger Development for Designing Adaptive Aquatic Monitoring Plans for Large Industrial Developments

Carolyn Brown, Tim J. Arciszewski, R. Allen Curry, D. Scott Smith et autres

Most Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) fail to generate effective monitoring and forecast triggers because there is a lack of appropriate baseline data and forecasting, especially for biotic endpoints. Herein, we provide an example of how to develop monitoring and forecast triggers with …

Keys for effective multistakeholder science committees: The importance of structure, processes and desired behaviours

Garry J. Scrimgeour, Kelly R. Munkittrick, Frederick John Wrona, Mark E. McMaster

Abstract Multistakeholder Science Committees (MSC's) are increasingly used to inform science assessments and syntheses supporting the development of environmental regulations and policies. By bringing together a diversity of pertinent rights holders and stakeholders they can create holistic and inclusive outcomes that would …

How do organic micropollutants affect fish?

Kelly R. Munkittrick

How do organic micropollutants affect fish?Wastewater treatment plants remove contaminants and pollutants from water before releasing it back into the surrounding aquatic ecosystems.Unfortunately, these treatment facilities are not designed to remove all pollutants, and some chemicals end up being released in local …

Multicompartment Examination of Micropollutant Partitioning in Replicate Artificial Streams Highlights the Limitations of Assessing Water Matrices Alone

Daniela Pulgarin-Zapata, Leslie M. Bragg, Diana M. Cárdenas-Soracá, Patricija Marjan et autres

While numerous assessments of micropollutant exposure primarily focus on monitoring the water column, a growing body of research indicates that differences in micropollutant partitioning in other compartments require additional consideration for risk evaluation. This study investigated the partitioning of antibiotics, antiepileptics, antibacterials, …

Identifying transcriptomic indicators of tertiary treated municipal effluent in longnose dace (Rhinichthys cataractae) caged under semi-controlled conditions in experimental raceways

Patricija Marjan, Christopher Joseph Martyniuk, Maricor J. Arlos, Mark Roy Servos et autres

To evaluate effects of tertiary treated wastewater treatment plant effluent (MWWE) on transcriptomic responses in longnose dace (Rhinichthys cataractae; LND) we conducted a semi-controlled study in experimental raceways (Advancing Canadian Water Assets facility) imbedded in the Pine Creek treatment plant (Calgary, AB). …

Ecological variation in invasive brown trout (Salmo trutta) within a remote coastal river catchment in northern Patagonia complicates estimates of invasion impact

Paulina Bahamonde, Gustavo Chiang, Gabriela Mancilla, Tamara Contador et autres

Abstract Salmonids were first introduced into the Chilean fresh waters in the 1880s, and c. 140 years later, they are ubiquitous across Chilean rivers, especially in the southern pristine fresh waters. This study examined the brown trout (Salmo trutta) and native taxa …

Elements and omega-3 fatty acids in fishes along a large, dammed river

Jenni Velichka, Karen A. Kidd, Kelly R. Munkittrick, Meera Shanmuganathan et autres

Damming of a river can trap and elevate levels of sediment-bound elements and alter food web dynamics in created reservoirs. It follows that dams may alter how elements and other nutrients, like the beneficial omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 FAs) eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) …

Examination of recent hydroelectric dam projects in Canada for alignment of baseline studies, predictive modeling, and postdevelopment monitoring phases of aquatic environmental impact assessments

Carolyn Brown, Bram F. Noble, Kelly R. Munkittrick

Environmental impact assessment (EIA) has been widely criticized by the aquatic science community for poorly aligned approaches when selecting endpoints and collecting data during the baseline, predictive modeling, and postdevelopment monitoring phases. If these critical phases of the EIA process are not …
