Alterations in biochemistry and morphology of feral fish downstream from an untreated groundwood/sulphite pulp mill discharge and characterization of the effluent induced mixed-function oxygenase response

White suckers captured downstream from the Pine Falls pulp and paper mill exhibited an increase in liver somatic index and an induction of the mixed-function oxygenase (MFO) system and decreases in plasma testosterone, fecundity and hepatic stores of vitamins A and E. The MFOs were positively correl...
