Description:
This poster describes research conducted under the RARE program project to evaluate the sensitivity of sculpin to several metal contaminants common to hard rock mining sites in the Mountain West. This research was specifically requested by scientists in Region 10, but will have significance throughout the country where metal contamination and sculpin co-occur. Toxicity data generated through this IAG will be used to adjust water quality criteria and standards as needed to protect this potentially sensitive fish species.
