Jervis Bay Contaminant Data 1988-1991
MarLIN Record Number: 1423
Abstract: This dataset contains data from pollution monitoring in Jervis Bay, NSW. The data were obtained from various sites around Jervis Bay at different times between October 1988 and July 1991. Samples for trace metals from sediments were determined, together with grain size. Mercury in the tissues of Red morwong (Cheilodactylus fuscus), Oysters (Ostrea angasi), Mussels (Trichomya hirsuta) and heavy metals in the leaves of Posidonia australis and Zostera sp. were determined. Organochlorides and hydrocarbons from sediments, water column and biota were also determined. Tributyl tin experiments were conducted in tanks.
The data are part of the Jervis Bay Marine Ecological Study.
NB - As the database has been lost, the only data still available are those published in the JERVIS BAY BASELINE STUDIES Final Report.
Data Volume: These data are part of the overall Jervis Bay Marine Ecological Studies (JMBES) database total volume approx. 500mb.
Data Location: As at July 2006 no accesible copy of the database could be located by CMAR or Department of Defence. Work is on-going to recover these data. These records will be updated when this work is completed. Original location information: Jervis Bay tape #1 - formerly at Marmion, in future to be at Divisional Data Centre, Hobart
Jervis Bay tape#2 stored offsite at Brambles, WA.
Department of Defence had a copy of database.
