- Abstract
The article cites a study on the effects of Ammonia on the early life stages of Northern Pike or Esox Lucius. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is in the process of revising, its acute and chronic surface water quality criteria for ammonia. Determination of effluent limitations for ammonia discharges based on chronic toxicity, or long-term impacts, will take into account temperature, pH, percent of stream flow used for dilution, and the presence of early life stages of fish. Results of this study indicate that northern pike are more tolerant of ammonia than seven of the eleven species for which chronic data are presented in the ammonia criteria document.
