National EEM Data Assessment
The results presented in this national assessment of effects on fish are focused on the analysis of the electronic data that mills submitted to Environment Canada. These data were used to conduct a variety of statistical analyses, and, where possible, the results were compared with the mills’ interpretive reports. Generally, there was good agreement between the results submitted by mills and the analyses carried out on the electronic data.
