Observations on the Effects of Oil Field Brines on the Fish and Bentric Macro-invertebrate Populations of a Central Oklahoma - Intermittent Stream
Abstract
This study contrasts populations of fish and benthic macro-invertebrates in an oil field brine contaminated stream with those in a nearby, uncontaminated stream. The streams were selected on the basis of similar morphometric and hydrologic characteristics. Sampling frequency was impacted by drought. Significant differences in the community structures of the streams were evident despite the low sample numbers. The study was funded by a grant from The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
