註釋This technical evaluation updates information on fish monitoring methods in the context of their use & effectiveness as biomonitoring tools for assessing environmental effects of mining discharge on the health of fish populations & community. In addition, it describes the different approaches available to understand the effects of stressors on fish and their application to the Aquatic Effects Technology Evaluation program. It contains a literature review on chemical (metal levels in tissues) and biochemical level methods available for assessing effects of environmental metal contamination on fish. Monitoring methods suitable for field application are described & evaluated in terms of their potential effectiveness in detecting sub-lethal responses of fish to mining activities. It also discusses the use & suitability of adult fish surveys and fish community surveys for environmental monitoring at metal mines, including their study design, sampling methods, and examples of their actual use. The final section summarizes a comparative evaluation of the tools & approaches considered.
