REMARKS - The Mississippi River Longitudinal Study is an integrated chemical and biological investigation of stream-bed sediment and multiple fish species at approximately 41 sites along the Mississippi River from Bemidji, Minn. to Winona, Minn. during June and July, 2006. The objective of this integrated chemical and biological study is to determine concentrations of selected compounds in stream-bed sediment. Stream-bed sediment samples were collected and analyzed using established USGS techniques.
