Organochlorine and total mercury in bivalve Anadara tuberculosa and other species from the Nicoya Gulf, Costa Rica in 1988

Description in English

Evaluation of the contamination level at three different localities of the Nicoya Gulf (Punta Morales, Puerto Alto and Jicaral). To fulfill this purpose a filter feeder bivalve mollusc Anadara tuberculosa (Arcidae) was chosen. In order to compare the contamination levels between the 3 places standardization was done on sex, maturity, size, lipid contents and sampling period (September and December 1988). Samples were cut in pieces and well mixed and then subsampled 3 times for mercury analysis, PCB and organochlorine and dryweight and carbon analysis.

Abstract in English

Contamination level by PCB, organochlorines pesticides and mercury for Anadara tuberculosa and other species at Punta Morales, Puerto Alto and Jicaral during 2 sampling periods in 1988. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: de la Cruz, E. (1989). Organochlorine and total mercury in the Anadara tuberculosa bivalve and other species from the Nicoya Gulf, Costa Rica. MSc Thesis. KBIN: Brussel. 59 pp.
