The purpose was to screen selected sites for the occurrence and impact of toxic chemicals. A total of eight stations were sampled, including two on the Rio Grande, two on the Arroyo Colorado, one on the North Floodway, one at Brazos Santiago Pass, one in San Martin Lake, and one in the Gulf of Mexico. The scope of evaluation included determinations of toxic chemical concentrations in water (8 sites), sediment (7 sites), and fish tissue (8 sites); toxicity testing of water (8 sites) and sediment (7 sites); and biosurveys of fish and benthic macroinvertebrate communities (4 sites).toxicantssurveyscoastal waterstissueswater samplingsediment samplingphysicochemical propertieswater qualitytoxicity testsbioassaysbenthosBook
