Mercury effects on predator avoidance behavior of a forage fish, Golden Shiner (Notemigonus crysoleucas)
Webber HM and Haines TA. 2003. Mercury effects on predator avoidance behavior of a forage fish, Golden Shiner (Notemigonus crysoleucas). Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry. 22(7):1556-1561
Looked at the effect of high levels of mercury contmination on fish behavior. The fish studied was the Golden Shiner (Notemigonus crysoleucas). The behavior studied was the response to a overhead predator (simulated with a model of a kingfisher). The study was done in the laboratory. Note on copy says 'this research was funded by NPS and is related to other Hg research by Haines and Burgess'. /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /ACADIA NATIONAL PARK/
