Parasites of slimy sculpin (Cottus cognatus) as indicators of water quality in the tributaries of the Athabasca River
This project examined the use of parasites of slimy sculpin (Cottus cognatus) as indicators of water quality in the Athabasca River. Specimens of C. cognatus were sampled from four tributaries to assess patterns of helminth parasite community structure in this fish and to study the composition and diversity of its parasite communities in relation to water quality.
All data are a part subject of a publication containing method details, full QA/QC, interpretation and conclusions: Braicovich, P. E., McMaster, M., Glozier, N. E., & Marcogliese, D. J. (2020). Distribution of parasites of slimy sculpin Cottus cognatus Richardson, 1836 (Scorpaeniformes: Cottidae) in the Athabasca drainage, Alberta, Canada, and their relation to water quality. Parasitology research, 119(10), 3243–3254. doi.org/10.1007/s00436-020-06819-9
