About this book
This book presents a comprehensive gathering of the techniques for measuring and assessing commonly found toxins in both freshwater and saltwater environments. Sampling, testing and analysis methods are offered.| Both lab scientists and field investigators alike will help in testing for everything from assessing DNA damage to bioaccumulation of common toxins, to assays of fish embryos and fish tissues.
