	Project: Role of the Contamination of the Richelieu River in the Spawning Problems of the Copper Redhorse
		By measuring the degree of contamination of surface waters by endocrine-disrupting substances (pesticides, nonionic surfactants) and the degree to which fish are exposed to them, a team of St. Lawrence Centre researchers, in collaboration with several partners, is trying to determine if these substances contribute to the reproductive problems of the Copper Redhorse.
		The Copper Redhorse is found only in Quebec, in several rivers in the St. Lawrence Valley, notably the Richelieu River and a section of the St. Lawrence River located upstream of Lake Saint-Pierre.
		Current data suggest that this period often coincides with a rise in concentrations of certain pesticides in the water, attribuable to the application of pesticides on farmland and the prevailing hydrodynamic and climatic conditions.

		As part of a collaborative effort between scientists from Environment Canada and COVABAR (a non-governmental organization), a six-year study was conducted to monitor the presence, spread and potential impacts of Zebra Mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) in the Richelieu River.
		This variability could be due to interannual variations in river discharge during summertime.
		Sampling responsibility for such monitoring should be transferred to non-governmental organizations in order to increase public awareness of the problem of exotic species and the threat to biodiversity.
