Low levels of copper have been shown to impair the olfactory system of threatened and endangered (T&E) salmon, decreasing their predator avoidance behavior and likely increasing mortality. However, only dissolved copper (dissCu) present as the cupric ion (Cu2+) and weakly complexed species are truly bioavailable. Previous studies indicate the vast...
