Abstract |
The analyses of data that were collected during the biological survey of the Upper Illinois Waterway indicated that definite degradation by man-contributed pollution had defiled the canalized waterway in the reaches studied; bottom animals especially are expressive of degradation. The bottom animals show responses to both domestic sewage and wastes of industrial origin as degradation agents. |
