Abstract
In the St-Maurice River, Canada, white suckers (Catostomus commersoni) collected at two stationslocated downstream of a bleached kraft mill effluent(BKME) outfall exhibited increased muscle lipidconcentrations relative to upstream reference fish.White suckers collected in a physicochemicallycomparable but uncontaminated river, also demonstratedan increasing trend of lipid accumulation withdistance downstream. The similar general trends inboth rivers may result from a river continuum in whichincreasing loads of nutrients with distance downstreamincrease the energy available to fish.
