Abstract
The goal of the field study was to assess the effects of sediment contaminants on the main components of the vitellogenic cycle in winter flounder, and determine seasonal and inter-annual variations. The objectives of the laboratory experiment were to monitor the complete reproductive cycle of winter flounder in captivity, confirm that contaminated sediments alone could cause adverse effects to winter flounder reproduction and validate non-destructive sampling of fish for the purpose of bimonitoring.
