The uptake and retention of cesium-134 in Microtus canicaudus Miller

Creator:

Lei, Wayne

Abstract:

A study was performed to assess the uptake and retention patterns of cesium-134 in the gray-tailed vole, Microtus canicaudus Miller. To furnish a realistic source of contaminated food for the voles, wheat seedlings were raised in hydroponic solutions to provide radiocesium labeled wheat clippings. The hydroponic system was designed to...

Some possible roles for selenium in the reproductive physiology of the male graytailed vole (Microtus canicaudus)

Creator:

Whitfield, Stephen Curtiss

Abstract:

The testes of the gray-tailed vole (Microtus canicaudus Miller) exhibited a high affinity for selenium relative to other selected tissues. Uptake of selenium-75 in the testis-epididymis complex was delayed relative to uptake by the whole body, kidney, and liver. This pattern of uptake suggested that selenium was metabolically incorporated into...

Effects of chlorinated biologically stabilized kraft mill effluent on the mortality and growth of Coho salmon

Creator:

Steil, Deborah L.

Abstract:

Ninety-six hour acute toxicity bioassays were employed to determine the tolerance of juvenile coho salmon to chlorinated stabilized kraft mill effluent (SKME). In addition the effect of chlorinated SKME on the growth of juvenile coho salmon in six and ten day experiments was studied. Results of the acute toxicity tests...
