      Abstract
      The objective of the work described in this thesis was to develop a novel life cycle bioassay for evaluating metal mine effluent effects using the midge Chironomus tentans in artificial streams. The bioassay was tested in situ using an environmentally relevant concentration (45%) of effluent from the Copper Cliff Wastewater Treatment Plant at INCO Ltd. in Sudbury, ON, Canada. There was reduced survival (p=0.001), reduced total emergence (p
