Description: ABSTRACT: The B.C. Acid Mine Drainage Task Force identified a need for a complete review and survey of the literature available on biological monitoring techniques related to heavy metals in aquatic environments.  This review was completed with the intent of evaluating the effectiveness of these methods and identifying those which held the greatest promise.  Those with the greatest promise would then be adopted as standard techniques by the mining industry, and government agencies.
