4. Influence of a pulp and paper mill effluent on aspects of distribution, survival and feeding of Nipigon Bay, Lake Superior, larval fish.

Abstract

Surface distribution of Nipigon Bay larval fish was characterized by high abundance, between 500 and 2100 larval fish/10,000 m3 near shore, particularly in proximity to the pulp and paper mill effluent discharge, and low abundance, less than 100/10,000 m3 away from shore. Static bioassay indicated that approximately 60% effluent concentration was intolerable to the natural mixed larval fish community. No wood fibre was found among stomach contents and no difference was apparent in stomach contents of fish caught in influenced and uninfluenced areas. Data therefore suggest that larval fish either were not greatly influenced by plume conditions or were transients.

Abstract

This study dealt with a particular biological treatment system used to treat pulp and paper mill wastes. This study shows that although there are various detoxification systems which have proven successful, the system at the mill under study (which employs an aerated stabilization basin as a final biological treatment) seems adequate to prevent deleterous toxic effects to the aquatic environment surrounding the mill's discharge.
