Title: Middle Harbour Sydney Organchlorine Contaminant Uptake Data in Oysters
Custodian: Environment Protection Authority NSW
Jurisdiction: New South Wales
This dataset contains the results from experiments on the accumulation rate and discharge rate of organochlorine contaminants in oysters from Sydney Harbour. The observations were taken in the middle harbour region. Oysters from control areas and local were placed in bags on a mooring and the concentrations of organochlorine contaminants in their tissue as a function of time was determined.
