    Notes: Abstract The effects of residing in a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contaminated environment on the cytometric characteristics of hemocytes from the American oyster Crassostrea virginica (collected from the Rappahannock River, Virginia, USA in Spring 1991) were analyzed using a multichannel Coulter counter (10000 hemocytes oyster-1). The percentage and relative volume of small-sized hemocytes (〉2.5 to 5.1 μm) was higher (P〈0.01) in oysters from Hospital Point (HP, a PAH contaminated site) in the Elizabeth River (ER), Virginia, compared to oysters from the relatively unpolluted Rappahannock River (RR). On the contrary, a decrease (P〈0.001) in the percentage and volume of larger hemocytes (〉6.2 to 10 μm) was observed in the HP-oysters. Maintaining the RR-oysters at the HP site for 8 wk induced statistically significant increases in the number and relative volume contribution of the 〉2.5 to 5.1 μm hemocytes and sharp decreases in the occurrence and relative volume of 〉6.2 to 13 μm cells (P〈0.01). By depurating the HP-oysters in the York River (the control site), the number of, and volume contributed by the small hemocytes (〉2.5 to 5.1 μm) showed a significant decrease over time as compared to the baseline values. On the other hand, the relative number of 〉6.2 to 13 μm hemocytes increased sharply within 8 wk (P〈0.001). This indicates that these changes are both inducible and reversible and, at least in part, due to exposure to the ER-sediment. Based on these studies, oyster hemocyte cytometric characteristics could be developed as a sensitive biomarker of exposure to PAH.

    Notes: An analytical method to determine tributyltin (TBT) in oyster tissue, Crassostrea virginica, and estuarine sediments is described. Recoveries of TBT from oysters range from 86 to 102% when samples are fortified at concentrations ranging from 22 to 890 μg kg-1 (wet weight); recoveries from sediment range from 92 to 105% for samples fortified from 20 to 500 μg kg-1 (dry weight).Feral oysters and natural sediments were analysed and shown to be contaminated with TBT. Oysters collected near a marina contained concentrations as high as 1.5 mg kg-1 (wet weight).

    Notes: Concentrations of synthetic organics and trace metals in tissues or sediment may vary by hundreds of percents even when replicate samples are collected from the same biological population, i.e. school of fish, or the same location on the bottom of the stream. Without a knowledge of these variations, decisions based on analytical data interpretations are difficult and often in error. Some reasons for these variations will be discussed, with examples presented from field data which include: trace metals and pesticides in bottom sediments, pesticides in suspended sediments and plankton, pesticides in fish populations and trace metals in mollusks.
