Do you have any info on how they effect fish or their environment?

I am a student at the University of Virginia and I am doing a research paper on the effects of Volcanism on freshwater fish. Do you have any info on how they effect fish or their environment? Thanks, Brett Dunnill

Dear Brett,

Chapter 7 of Blong's book has a section on aquatic life. He cites a paper by Bardsdate and Dugdale. Have a look in the Mount St. Helens information for the page about the effects of the eruption on plants and animals.
