LESSONS LEARNED FROM MODELLING PCBS IN THE GREAT LAKES

Citation:

Cook, P. M. LESSONS LEARNED FROM MODELLING PCBS IN THE GREAT LAKES. Presented at Ecosystem Workshop, Univ. of Washington Friday Harbor Laboratories, Friday Harbor, WA, September 16-20, 2002.

Description:

Implementation of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement depends in part on knowing which chemicals under what conditions have impacted different fish species, either independently or in concert with non-chemical stressors. Dr. Phillip Cook of MED presented an overview of his research on reproductive failure of lake trout and possibly other species associated with exposures to dioxin-like chemicals during the last half century. These research results are expected to serve as a model for assessing risks to other species.
