Sublethal effects of suspended sediments on estuarine fish /

The objective of this study was to determine the effects, if any, of sublethal concentrations of suspended materials on the fish in estuarine systems. Experimental sediment suspensions reproduced the concentrations frequently found during flooding and at dredging sites and dredged-material disposal sites. The suspensions were of natural sediment, obtained from the Patuxent River estuary, Maryland, or commercially available Fuller's earth. Fish were collected in the Patuxent River estuary and transported to the laboratory. The selected fish species inhabited ecologically different sections of the estuary; therefore, the overall reactions of each species were unique. Seven species of estuarine fish were exposed to Fuller's earth and natural sediment suspensions for timed periods and hematological changes were noted. The effects of various concentrations of Fuller's earth suspensions on white perch gill tissue were determined. Oxygen consumption rates of striped bass, white perch, and toadfish were measured in filtered Patuxent River water and compared to consumption rates in filtered river water suspensions of Fuller's earth or Patuxent River sediment. Fish showed signs of stress in response to suspended sediments in most of the experiments. Results indicate that sublethal concentrations of suspended solids can affect estuarine fish.

Baseline loadings of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediments from Illinois watersheds : October 1980 - September 1996 /

The purpose of the report is to evaluate baseline loadings of nutrients and sediment to the Mississippi River and the Ohio River from the state of Illinois and to identify the sources of those loads; also evaluated are baseline loadings of nutrients and sediments to the Illinois River from its tributaries.
