Accumulation and turnover of petroleum hydrocarbons in marine organisms (Chapter 6)
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:7076204
The review deals with the uptake, storage and discharge of petroleum hydrocarbons by marine organisms under laboratory and field conditions. Analyses of organisms collected from oil spill and chronically polluted areas are reviewed under the heading of Bioaccumulation. The section entitled Biological Transfer Processes deals with the ability of animals to depurate their hydrocarbons accumulated after exposure to oil. The groups of marine organisms included are benthic algae, zooplankton, benthic invertebrates and fish. Bivalves, including mussels, clams and oysters, have received special emphasis because of the extensive amount of laboratory and field studies on the accumulation of petroleum by these mollusks.
