The toxicity of organic fractions from aged oil sands process-affected water to aquatic species
Description
This study examined the toxicity of aged oil sands tailings waste, and it's affect on eight species of freshwater aquatic organisms: Pimephales promelas (fathead minnow), Oryzias latipes (Japanese medaka), Hyalella azteca, Daphnia magna, Vibrio fischeri, Lampsilis cardium, Ceriodaphnia dubia, and Hexagenia spp. Water samples were collected in 2011 from a testing pond within the Alberta Oil Sands, and bioassays were completed in a laboratory at the Canada Centre for Inland Waters located in Burlington, Ontario.
All data are a part subject of a publication containing method details, full QA/QC, interpretation and conclusions: Bauer, A. E., Hewitt, L. M., Parrott, J. L., Bartlett, A. J., Gillis, P.
