The impact of ballast water discharge from an oil refinery in Whitegate Harbour, Co. Cork, Ireland to the Manila clam, Tapes semidecussatus, was investigated using a whole sediment bioassay. Bioassay organisms were exposed to surface sediments for a period of 2l days, including a reference and control sediment, collected from the vicinity of a ballast water discharge pipe. At the whole organism level,...
Estuarine sediments frequently are repositories and therefore potential sources of anthropogenic contaminants. Many organic and metallic chemical compounds released into aquatic systems bind to particulates and so accumulate in the sediments, thus, sediments become repositories of contaminants in estuaries. These may also cause contamination through diffusion of porewater, resuspension of particulates...
