Description Article in Environmental Monitoring and Assessment 77:99-119, 2002.

We assessed the effects on fish of lead released to streams by smelters located in Trail, BC (Canada); E. Helena, MT; Herculaneum, MO; and Glover, MO. Fish were collected by electrofishing from sites located downstream of smelters and from reference sites. Blood from each fish was analyzed for aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) activity and hemoglobin, and samples of blood, liver, or carcass were analyzed for lead, zinc, or both.
