| Abstract: | The toxicity of Al and a mixture of inorganic contaminants to young striped bass Morone saxatilis in soft fresh water was demonstrated to be age- and pH-dependent. Toxicity of the contaminants was increased with decreases of pH of the test waters. The interaction between low pH from acid deposition and inorganic contaminants should be considered as a possible factor contributing to the decline in abundance of east coast striped bass. |
