A field study in two lakes polluted by coal mine runoff in central Queensland found that the Pacific blue-eye was more resistant than tadpoles of the striped marsh frog ("Limnodynastes peronii") to adverse health effects. The fish species did not suffer acutely but showed markers of compromised health in
