Project description:The goal of this experiment was to assess transcriptomic responses in caged longnose dace (Rhinichthys cataractae) (LND) females and males exposed to 5% final effluent over time to identify potential transcriptomic markers that can be used as reliable indicators and that can further be explored in field-based ecotoxicogenomic studies in the Bow River. We used the Advancing Canadian Wastewater Assets (ACWA) artificial streams to cage LND for 28 days exposed to either 5% final effluent or control.
