Description

The bioaccumulation of metals in benthic invertebrates, zooplankton and fish liver from the St. Lawrence River from 2017 to 2021. Samples were collected aboard the Lampsilis Research Vessel from UQTR, except in 2022 where a motorboat was used to sample shallower environments and some amphipods were collected along the banks of the river with a kicknet. Fish were collected with a bottom trawler. Most invertebrate were collected through the sediment collector. Invertebrates were depurated 24h.
