This pilot study was designed to evaluate ambient toxicity in the Chesapeake Bay watershed by using a battery of water column and sediemtn toxicity tests. A team of scientists from two Chesapeake Bay research laboratories worked jointly to complete this goal. Water column toxicity studies were directed by Lenwood W. Hall, Jr. of the University of Maryland System's Agricultural Experiment Staation; sediment toxicity tests were managed by Raymond W. Alden, III of Old Dominion University Applied Marine Reserach Laboratory. This report summarizes data from the third year of a three-year pilot study.
