Abstract excerpt
Biological sampling has been implemented to assess water quality in many states. The purpose of this study was to examine whether genetic diversity and structure of Pimephales notatus could serve as effective biomarkers of exposure to anthropogenic stressors by comparing genetic measures with other biological indicators of water quality. Fish were collected from 15 sites on eight streams by the Ohio Environmental...
