Organic Contaminants in Sentinel Shellfish: 2006 Data

Samples of oysters from multiple sites in the Manukau Harbour and transplanted mussels from multiple sites in Auckland estuaries and Waitemata Harbour were analysed for %lipid, organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Analytical data for oysters and mussels were presented along with analytical procedures, methods and a quality assurance summary. The report includes lipid-normalised data sets of selected contaminants for comparison with earlier data sets.

Purpose
Auckland Council undertakes a range of contaminant monitoring programmes in the Auckland Region to assess the State of the Environment as required by the Ministry for the Environment. The long-term Sentinel Shellfish Monitoring Programme has been in place since mid-1980s and incorporates both organic contaminants (e.g. PAHs, OCPs and PCBs) and heavy metals (e.g. Cu, Pb, Zn). NIWA provides organic contaminant data to AC for long-term environmental trend assessment.
