Studies concentrating upon the epilithon were conducted in five tributary rivers flowing into the Athabasca River: the Muskeg, Steepbank, Hangingstone, MacKay, and Ells rivers. The species composition of the epilithic algae was determined during June to November 1978. Diatoms and blue-green...

Mathematical models have been widely applied to perform chemical risk assessments on biological populations for a variety of ecotoxicological pro- cesses. In this paper, by introducing a dose-dependent mortality rate function, we formulate a toxin-dependent aquatic population model that...
