Benthic conditions in the Nipigon Bay area of concern in 2009 and comparison to 2003 / Danielle Milani and Lee Grapentine.: En83-9/11-076E-PDF
"To evaluate whether benthic conditions in Nipigon Bay continue to improve over time, sediment contaminant concentrations, sediment toxicity, and benthic invertebrate communities were assessed in 2009. Conditions were examined to assess the spatial differences between contaminated and reference sediments, and the temporal differences between conditions afier 2003, when a similar study was conducted.
