Article Snippet: 15 , Schmitt et al. (2005) , Examine biochemical effects of lead, zinc, and cadmium from mining on fish in the TSMD. , Quantitative; (fish representing six species were collected from six sites on the Spring and Neosho Rivers, and additional samples from the Big River). , Concentrations of Zn, Cd, Pb, and iron in the blood of six species of fish. , d-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) activity, and Hb-adjusted ALAD activity (ALAD/Hb) in the blood of fishes. , n = 74, fish representing six species were collected from six sites on the Spring and Neosho Rivers, and additional samples from the Big River. , One-way ANOVA using the site as a fixed effect and stepwise multiple linear regression using SAS. , 1. ALAD activity was inhibited by more than 50% in catfish from several TSMD sites, which is evidence that Pb is both bioavailable, and active biochemically..
