Fig. 1. Experimental design schematic for the establishment of pulp mill effluent (PME) treatments. Rainbow trout were exposed to 10% PME through the water (treatments EC and EE) and through food ingestion (treatments CE and EE). Chironomus tentans was cultured in 10% PME to alter the composition of food resources. For fish treatment designations of CC, CE, EC, and EE, C = control, E = 10% effluent; first letter refers to water exposure, and second letter to food exposure.
