Pinkney AE, Harshbarger JC, Rutter MA, Sakaris PC. Tumor Prevalence in Brown Bullhead (Ameiurus nebulosus) in the Tidal Potomac River Watershed: 2014-2016 Report Number: CBFO-C18-01. Research Permit and Reporting System
The prevalence of liver and skin tumors in brown bullhead (Ameiurus nebulosus) from the Anacostia River (Washington, DC, USA) and nearby areas was determined in 2014, 2015, and 2016. The objectives were to: 1) compare tumor prevalence across space and time; 2) analyze the 1992–2016 Chesapeake Bay Tumor Data Base to identify reference locations and test age, length, weight, and sex as covariates; and 3) explore whether changes in bullhead exposure to contaminants can explain the observed trends.
