Our aim in the present study was to investigate further the link between pulp mill effluent exposure and male-biased sex ratios of the
eelpout. We therefore investigated the consistency of the response over 4 years at the mill and at several reference sites.
This shutdown coincided with the period when sexual differentiation usually occurs in
eelpout embryos, a development that allowed Larsson and Forlin to test whether the skewed sex ratios previously found by the mill were associated with exposure to the effluent.
Fish assemblages differed noticeably among the inner, middle, and outer domains in the EBS; many species (sculpins, poachers, and
eelpouts) primarily inhabited a single domain and many flatfishes and skates inhabited all three domains (Kaimmer (1); Kinder and Schumacher, 1981; Smith and Bakkala, 1982: Tables 1 and 2).
wilsoni), sharpchin, rosethorn, and yellowtail, dominated all substrates except mud, where Dover sole and blackbelly
eelpouts (Lycodes pacificus) were most abundant.

In total 18 flounder, four rockling, a coalfish and two
eelpouts where weighed in.
After treatment with acids (HN[O.sub.3] and [H.sub.2]S[O.sub.4]), the samples were analysed individually (herring, smelt, perch,
eelpout, and flounder from the sea).

Leech Lake is an important year round fishing destination; the lake even hosts the annual International
Eelpout (Lota Iota) Festival.
Climate induced temperature effects on growth performance, fecundity and recruitment in marine fish: developing a hypothesis for cause and effect relationships in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and common
eelpout (Zoar ces viviparus).
But whether you know it as
eelpout, dogfish or lawyer, the burbot is a unique fish that should be admired, and one that could serve as an indicator of how global environmental changes could impact New York's fishes.
