Statistical Analysis of Data on Mollusc Tissue Lesions for Use in Developing a Marine Contaminant Bioassay. Environment Canada. 2000.

Assessment of Statistical Properties of Ocean Dumpsite Data. Environment Canada. 1997.

As part of its role in regulating ocean dumping, Environment Canada has developed a recommended approach to gathering biological data in support of ocean dumping applications. This project reviewed data collected since 1989, examined statistical properties, and determined its adequacy as a basis for long-term environmental monitoring.
