Effects of bleached kraft mill effluent (BKME) on the schooling behavior of vendace (Coregonus albula L.)

The aim of this study was to discover whether low, sublethal concentrations of BKME disturb the behavior of a fish school. The reactions of fish to the effluents of the forest industry is of great interest in Finland, since this industry is the most important water pollutor in the country (Vesihalli...

Zusammenfassung:	The aim of this study was to discover whether low, sublethal concentrations of BKME disturb the behavior of a fish school. The reactions of fish to the effluents of the forest industry is of great interest in Finland, since this industry is the most important water pollutor in the country (Vesihallitus 1983). The vendace (Coregonus albula L.) was selected as the test fish because of its commercial value and its strong schooling behavior.
