Exposure of Juvenile Lake Sturgeon to Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs), Including Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs): Location Differences and Effects on Thyroid Hormones

North American Journal of Fisheries Management, Volume 42, Issue 1, Page 123-139, February 2022., 2022
Abstract Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) are ubiquitous throughout aquatic environments. Previous research has shown that CECs can have detrimental effects on fish biology, potentially leading to population impacts. Specifically, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), a class of CECs, have been shown to alter thyroid hormones in fish, which ...
