Fish health status of Wheatley Harbour AOC Brown bullhead and Goldfish

Fish health status of Wheatley Harbour AOC Brown bullhead and Goldfish This dataset contains the overall health and endocrine function of Brown bullhead (Ameriurus nebulosus) and Goldfish (Carassius auratus) from the Wheatley Harbour Area of Concern using a suite of physiological and biochemical endpoints. Supplemental Information Funding for this study was provided in part by the Government of Canada’s Great Lakes Action Plan (GLAP) and in support to Wheatley Harbour Area of Concern. In 1987 under the revised Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, 43 areas of concern (AOC), 12 of which are located in Canada, were identified as having severely impaired beneficial uses and water quality. As funded by the Great Lakes Action Plan, a Remedial Action Plan was formed for each area of concern bringing together experts from government, industry, municipalities and environmental non-government organizations to address these impacts. Today over 900 restoration projects have been successfully completed by Environment and Climate Change Canada and partners including Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrades, fish and wildlife habitat restoration, and water quality improvements For more information on the Wheatley Harbour Area of Concern visit: https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/great-lakes-protection/areas-concern/wheatley-harbour.html 2021-07-23 Environment and Climate Change Canada open-ouvert@tbs-sct.gc.ca Nature and EnvironmentGreat Lakes Action Plan (GLAP)Area of Concern (AOC)Brown bullhead (Ameriurus nebulosus)Endorine DisruptionTumoursThyroidVitellogeninERODGoldfish (Carassius auratus)Environment GLAP WH FishHealthStatus BBGF EN FR.csvCSV https://data-donnees.ec.gc.ca/data/sites/areainterest/wheatley-harbour-area-of-concern/fish-health-status-of-wheatley-harbour-aoc-brown-bullhead-and-goldfish/GLAP_WH_FishHealthStatus_BBGF_EN_FR.csv Scientific Publication - Assessment of the health status of wild fish from the Wheatley Harbour Area of Concern, Ontario, CanadaHTML https://setac.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/etc.2021 View ECCC Data Mart (English)HTML https://data-donnees.ec.gc.ca/data/sites/areainterest/wheatley-harbour-area-of-concern/fish-health-status-of-wheatley-harbour-aoc-brown-bullhead-and-goldfish/ View ECCC Data Mart (French)HTML https://data-donnees.ec.gc.ca/data/sites/areainterest/wheatley-harbour-area-of-concern/fish-health-status-of-wheatley-harbour-aoc-brown-bullhead-and-goldfish/?lang=fr
