Carbon substrate utilization profiles, phenotypic fingerprints, of microbial communities from different pulp and paper effluent treatment systems are being determined using Biolog plates. The substrates from the Biolog GN plates that were deemed to be most significant in differentiating between communities are being employed as substrate panels on Biolog MT plates. Correlative microbiological tests including FAME analysis, heterotrophic plate counts, and epifluorescent microscopy are performed on the samples. By correlating the phenotypic fingerprints to pulp and paper mill processes and operation parameters in the treatment systems, the carbon substrate utilization profile has shown potential as a useful management tool.

Demonstrating water quality improvements from nonpoint source (NPS) controls by monitoring both land treatment and water quality in at least a subset of watershed projects is necessary to provide feedback to project coordinators Feedback to regional and national policy makers is also essential to achieve political and economic support for NPS control programs. To meet this objective, two challenges must be met in designing the monitoring network and analyzing the data: (1) Detecting significant (or real) trends in both water quality and land treatment implementation and (2) Associating water quality trends with land treatment trends. Land treatment and water quality monitoring requirements for meeting these challenges are discussed based on lessons learned from the Rural Clean Water Program, a 10-15 year experimental program designed to control agricultural NPS pollution in rural watersheds. At minimum, monitoring of land treatment and water quality should be multi-year before and after best management practice (BMP) implementation. The paired watershed design is the best for documenting BMP effectiveness in the shortest number of years (a minimum of 3-5 years). The water quality and land treatment data bases should be temporally related. All significant sources of variability in the land treatment and water quality data should be taken into account to increase the chances of isolating true water quality changes due to BMPs.

Abstract This study examined the comparative physiological health of the endemic New Zealand common bully (Gobiomorphus cotidianus) in the Tarawera and Rangitaiki Rivers. Bully were sampled downstream of pulp and paper effluent inputs in the Tarawera River and compared with a similar inland population in the Rangitaiki River. Condition factor and liver somatic index did not differ between populations, but Tarawera River bullies possessed larger gonads. Haematological assessments found smaller erythrocytes with reduced haemoglobin content, and increased leukocyte concentrations in Tarawera River females. Male and female Tarawera River bullies had significantly induced hepatic ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity. Greater ovarian follicular steroid production was also found for Tarawera River females. Microscopic analysis of ovarian tissue samples found no histopathological abnormalities in either population and indicated a slightly advanced vitellogenic stage of development in the Tarawera River population. It is concluded that the difference in steroid production between populations was most likely linked to gonad size and developmental status. In line with the disappearance of physiological effects in recent controlled laboratory and mesocosm pulp and paper effluent exposures, this study further demonstrates that, with the exception of EROD induction, characteristic pulp and paper effluent effects are not obvious in wild Tarawera fish.

Species Dominance

Density of pelagic fish in accessible portions of Nipigon Bay was lower offshore, less than 100 fish/10,000 m3, and greater nearshore, less than 1800 fish/10,000 m3. Conditions at Red Rock caused intense aggregation there and caused species dominance to shift to sucker at the mill discharge from yellow perch elsewhere. Plume shape and direction did not alter the localized pattern of distribution. Two typical responses to plume concentrations were found using suckers fitted with ultrasonic transmitters. Fish released in high discharge concentrations (>15% dilution by volume) became disoriented for as much as several hours, then appeared to search for "background" conditions. Fish released in low discharge concentrations (<15%) immediately initiated an avoidance reaction. Although individuals tended to avoid areas of altered water quality, the community aggregated at Red Rock in response to, perhaps, increased production of benthic macroinvertebrates. However, telemetry indicated that residence time was short in the area of altered water quality.
