Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in mussel and fish from the Finnish Archipelago Sea

Preliminary results are tabulated on the concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in mussels (Mytilus edulis) and fish in the Finnish Archipelago sea; a map of the area showing sampling sites is included. The fish species examined were herring (Clupea harengur), a migrating pelagic s...

Description
Summary:Preliminary results are tabulated on the concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in mussels (Mytilus edulis) and fish in the Finnish Archipelago sea; a map of the area showing sampling sites is included. The fish species examined were herring (Clupea harengur), a migrating pelagic species, and 2 bottom-living species, namely pike-perch (Stizostedion lucioperca) and burbot (Lota lota). The PAH concentrations found were low. The results are compared with those reported by other investigators for other areas.
