Estimating the environmental behavior of inorganic and organometal contaminants: Solubilities, bioaccumulation, and acute aquatic toxicities
The estimation of environmental properties of inorganic species has been difficult. In this presentation aqueous solubility, bioconcentration and acute aquatic toxicity are estimated for inorganic compounds using existing Linear Solvation Energy Relationship (LSER) equations. Many estimations fall within an order of magnitude of the measured property. For complex solution chemistry, the accuracy o

Non-lethal sampling for the detection of Myxobolus cerebralis in asymptomatic rainbow trout
We have described in previous reports (Schill et al., 1998) the development of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of 18S ribosomal RNA for the detection of Myxozoan parasites. Oligonucleotide primers were developed by multiple alignment of Myxozoan sequence information and analysis by a custom-written computer program (PRIM). Candidate pairs of primer sequences were then analyzed for

Pesticides in stream sediment and aquatic biota: distribution, trends, and governing factors
More than 20 years after the ban of DDT and other organochlorine pesticides, pesticides continue to be detected in air, rain, soil, surface water, bed sediment, and aquatic and terrestrial biota throughout the world. Recent research suggests that low levels of some of these pesticides may have the potential to affect the development, reproduction, and behavior of fish and wildlife, and possibly hu
