Abstract excerpt
To determine effects of pulp mill effluent on population genetic structure, redbreast sunfish (Lepomis auritus) were collected from several sites along the Pigeon River, NC, as well as from reference sites. Previous studies found effects on molecular, biochemical, physiological, population, and community level endpoints in these populations. The population genetic structure of these fish was determined using the...
