- •
Stress axis function was investigated in sticklebacks exposed to wastewater effluent.
- •
Two methods of evaluating the stress response were compared.
- •
Stress-induced release of cortisol to water was positively related to effluent concentration.
- •
Stress-induced whole-body cortisol increase was not consistently related to effluent.
