Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Reproductive effects of pulp mill effluents on fish continue to be reported in Canadian waters. Spawning delays, reduced gonad size, and altered levels of sex steroid hormones have been found in both sexes of various fish species exposed to effluents. We initiated a project to identify the source/cause of such effects. In part 1 of this two-part series, we exposed mature adult fathead minnow (FHM; Pimephales promelas) for 21 d to final treated effluent (1% and 100% v/v) from a bleached kraft pulp mill in Terrace Bay (ON, Canada). Results suggested pulp mill effluent from this mill affected reproductive indicators in FHM and effects were dependent on effluent concentration, duration of exposure, and method of data analysis. The main objective of this paper was to use the FHM assay to identify waste stream sources within the mill that affect reproductive indicators. Various process streams were selected, characterized with respect to effluent chemistry and acute toxicity, and a subset was tested on-site with the 21-d FHM bioassay. Results showed that both the combined mill effluent (before secondary treatment) and the combined alkaline stream (CALK) caused both decreased spawning events (∼55% for both streams) and decreased egg production (28 and 74%, respectively), and the CALK stream resulted in significant male ovipositor development. By comparing response patterns we were able to identify the CALK stream as a source of compounds at this mill affecting reproductive indicators in FHM and highlight this stream for further toxicity identification evaluation. © 2006 SETAC.
