Title: Ecological risk assessment methodology for species exposed to contaminant mixtures with application to Chesapeake Bay striped bass

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:177564

This report is on the development of a new methodology to assess potential risks to natural populations exposed to contaminant mixtures. The purpose of this project was to develop an objective and quantitative methodology that could help ChesapeakeBay environmental managers assess the potential risks that mixtures of chemical contaminants might pose to resource species. Application of the method was to be demonstrated on Chesapeake Bay striped bass populations to the extent that available data allowed.
