Effects of Wastewater Discharges on Endocrine and Reproductive Function of Western Mosquitofish (Gambusia Spp.) and Implications for the Threatened Santa Ana Sucker (Catostomus Santaanae)
U.s. Department of the Interior
The Santa Ana River in southern California is impacted by effluents from wastewater treatment plants (WWTP), which are sources of organic wastewater compounds (OWCs) and urban runoff. The Santa Ana River is one of only three river basins supporting native populations of the federally listed Santa Ana sucker (Catostomus santaanae) at the time the fish was included on the list 2000. In 2004 and 2005, a U. S. Geological Survey and U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service study was undertaken to determine if the threatened Santa Ana sucker was potentially exposed to OWCs and endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) in the SAR by using the western mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis) as a surrogate fish model.
