Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative toxicity of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin to seven freshwater fish species during early life-stage development
Gregory E. Elonen,Robert L. Spehar,Gary W. Holcombe,Rodney D. Johnson,Joseph D. Fernandez,Russell J. Erickson,Joseph E. Tietge,Philip M. Cook +7 more
TL;DR: Comparisons of LCegg50s indicate that the tested species were approximately 8 to 38 times less sensitive to TCDD than lake trout, the most sensitive species evaluated to date.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toxicity and bioaccumulation of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin in long-term tests with the freshwater benthic invertebrates Chironomus tentans and Lumbriculus variegatus
TL;DR: The ability of invertebrates to accumulate relatively high concentrations of TCDD in the absence of toxic effects may be relevant to the transfer of contaminants through aquatic food webs to potentially sensitive vertebrate species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ambient solar UV radiation causes mortality in larvae of three species of Rana under controlled exposure conditions.
Joseph E. Tietge,Stephen A. Diamond,Gerald T. Ankley,David L. DeFoe,Gary W. Holcombe,Kathleen M. Jensen,Sigmund J. Degitz,Gregory E. Elonen,Edward J. Hammer +8 more
TL;DR: Analysis of embryos and larvae of three anuran species exposed to full-spectrum solar radiation and solar radiation filtered to attenuate UV-B radiation demonstrates that the larval life stages of the three species tested are more sensitive than the embryonic stages, suggesting that previous reports that have not included the larva life stage may underestimate the risk posed to some anuran populations by increasingUV-B exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reproductive toxicity and disposition of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin in adult brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) following a dietary exposure
Joseph E. Tietge,Rodney D. Johnson,Kathleen M. Jensen,Philip M. Cook,Gregory E. Elonen,Joseph D. Fernandez,Gary W. Holcombe,Douglas Lothenbach,John W. Nichols +8 more
TL;DR: Ault brook trout were exposed to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) with a contaminated trout pellet diet to determine the effects of TCDD on reproduction, to document tissue-specific TCCD distribution, and to establish the maternally derived dose of T CDD to the F1 generation.
