Fraser River Action Plan
Concluding Remarks
3rd Research Workshop
� The fact that organisms are recolonizing Station A0 indicates that
some degree of recovery has taken place.
� Preliminary data indicated that organic loading at A0 (and A14) may
result in the appearance of an additional cohort of Corophium
salmonis during the winter months.
� As a result, secondary production values are projected to be higher
at the previously polluted stations.
� Potential sediment structure differences between experimental and
control sites are as yet unresolved (i.e., sediment grain size
fractionation and relative differences in organic content).
