Sub Sessions
Jonathan Verreault, Antoine Simond, Valérie Jolicoeur, Magali Houde, Véronique Lesage, Robert MichaudLa population de bélugas de l'estuaire du Saint-Laurent (ESL) est fortement exposée aux polluants organiques persistants (POPs) qui ont été identifiés comme étant l'une des principales causes probables du non-rétablissement de cette population. Au cours des dernières années, un nombre croissant de complications associées à la parturition et à la mortalité de veaux on...
Holly Barrett, Jonathan Verreault, Magali Houde, Frank Wania, Hui Peng While elevated tissue concentrations of pollutants have been reported in St. Lawrence Estuary (SLE) belugas, the exact bioactive chemicals exerting toxicity remain unknown. We integrated chemical analysis and receptor activity screening to identify contaminants of potential toxicity in SLE beluga liver and blubber and reference Arctic beluga blubber. Contaminants were extracted from...
Antoine E. Simond, Véronique Lesage, Jonathan Verreault, Lisa Loseto, Magali Houde, Ashley Elliot, Marie Noël, Tanya M. BrownThe St. Lawrence Estuary (SLE) beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas) population is endangered. It has been postulated that exposure to elevated concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), chlorinated pesticides, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and emerging halogenated flame retardants (HFR) contribute to the non-recovery ...
