Description:   The bioaccumulation of heavy metals by sensitive, tolerant, and resistant fish species in the metal-contaminated lakes of Sudbury, Ontario, was studied to determine if sensitive species accumulate more metals than self-sustaining species do.  Concentrations of zinc, copper, iron, and nickel in fish tissue were related to lake contamination and pH to assess the roles of those factors in metal uptake by fish.
