“…We performed the actual sex ratio analyses with different personnel each year, showing independence of the examiner. A lab study exists (19), but to our knowledge no field study other than at this mill (20, present study), has yet shown a change in sex ratio in fish associated with pulp mill effluent exposure. This warrants further investigations at this and other mills, ideally with more species.…”

“…Our interpretation is that a substantial amount of data must be ignored to accept the null hypothesis, that no causal relationship exists between exposure to the effluent from the mill and the male bias of the sex ratios. Although skewed sex ratios were found in fathead minnows exposed to another kraft pulp mill effluent in a laboratory experiment (19), well-performed dose-response exposures with effluent from the presently investigated mill would provide additional information. We have had some success with spawning eelpout in captivity, overcoming some of the difficulties in successfully catching, transporting, and holding G ö t a R iv e r o u t e r e s t u a r y G ö t a R iv e r in n e r e s t u a r y wild cold-water marine fish like the eelpout for long periods of time in captivity.…”

“…For example, previous studies have demonstrated that effluent from sewage treatment plants (STP) were estrogenic to juvenile fish (McArdle et al, 2000;Julia et al, 2002). Kovacs et al (1995) reported lower egg production and delayed reproduction in fathead minnow exposed to bleached kraft pulp mill effluents (BKME). However, no significant effects were observed in maturing rainbow trout exposed to effluent of a pulp and paper mill (Heuvel et al, 2002).…”

“…Some doeumented responses mimie the physiologieal effeets of natural androgens. Sex ratios strongly skewed toward male offspring were observed in bleaehed kraft milI efftuent (BKME)-exposed eelpout [10] and fathead minnows [11]. Development of male sex eharaeteristies in response to pulp milI effluent exposure was observed in female guppies (red body eoloration [12]) and mosquitofish (development of a gonopodium [13]; expression of male sexual behavior [14]).…”
