The purpose of this project is to investigate the application of sonolysis to sediment polluted with mercury. The specific objectives of this study are: To demonstrate the ability of sonication to remove inorganic and methylmercury from synthetic and ...

To provide information on the major factors affecting survival and growth of larval Atlantic Salmon and to reestablish this species to its native range. Keywords: Atlantic salmon,Bioenergetic,Biomass,Development. ...

1. To determine factors that affect the survival of yellow perch in Lake Michigan. 2. To determine where young of the year yellow perch reside and are transported during the period between when the yolk is absorbed and when they become demersal. 3. Do ...

To identify trace metal binding peptides that have high affinity for lead, cadmium, copper and mercury. To introduce genes encoding trace metal binding peptides into transgenic Chlamydomonas to increase its trace metal binding capacity. To develop pr ...

The concept of the critical body residue (CBR) seeks to provide an alternative for interpreting risk. Instead of referencing risk to environmental concentrations of contaminants, biological effects of contaminant needed to cause a specified effect. D ...

To collect baseline water usage data and assess the institutional and legal mechanisms needed for market-based strategies to manage the regions' water supplies. Keywords: Policy, Urban. ...

To explore strategies of integrating these technologies to address systems-wide and site-specific environmental problems identified by the scientific community as significant in the region, and to support the preparation of an integrated and multi-campus ...

To characterize genetic stock structure and spatial patterning of walleye Stizostedion vitreum populations in spawning regions, lake basins, and among the Great Lakes, in order to evaluate diversity and delineate essential areas for its maintenance by ...
