Title: Water quality for salmon and trout
Author: John Solbé
Document Type: Monograph
Abstract:
This report is the Second Edition of "Water Quality for Salmon and Trout", which was first published in 1988. The new edition includes details of a group of relatively new pollutants which are likely to cause some concern. These are xenobiotic oestrogens (xenobiotic means foreign to or new to nature). There was concern that something contained in domestic sewage effluents might be having an effect on reproduction in fish. Two likely substances which could be responsible are alkyl phenols and human oestrogens. In general this booklet attempts to explain the answers to what water quality means and what are the implications for salmonids life-cycle.
