Sampling and analysis

Analytical monitoring:
no
Details on sampling:
Temperature on receipt was 13.0°C. The maximum allowable temperature is 10°C according to Canadian regulations or guidance documents.
Samples submitted to the laboratory soon after sampling are exempt. provided that cooling has been initiated. Cooling is not required for certain situations such as: Waste for classification or specific matrices or tests such as PCB in oil. There are no other notable comments.

Test organisms

Test organisms (species):

- Feeding during test: no
ACCLIMATION
- Acclimation period: 14 days
- Acclimation conditions: same as test conditions
- Type and amount of food: No. 1 pellet size trout food at a daily ration approximating 1-4% wet body weight
- Feeding frequency: 7 times a week
