Sinclair and Dyes Inlets Toxicity Study: An Assessment of Copper Bioavailability and Toxicity in Surface Waters Adjacent to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility

Abstract : This document describes the results from an assessment of both ambient toxicity and copper bioavailability, using toxicity tests with mussel embryos, in surface waters from Sinclair and Dyes Inlets, adjacent to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PSNS&IMF), in Bremerton, Washington.
