This project will examine reproductive and population-level consequences of exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in a group-spawning fish. Reproductive success and gene flow will be determined using DNA fingerprinting and perturbations in reproductive fitness related to exposure and individual endocrine responses to EDCs.
