摘要
The abstract refers to studies illustrative of approaches to field assessment currently under examination by the Dumping at Sea team within MAFF, including: effects of sewage sludge disposal on the benthos of offshore muddy substrates; environmental impact of dredge spoil disposal at an inshore sandy site; an approach to the study of a hard-bottom assemblage - also exposed to dumped waste material - which relies on the determination of condition and contaminant content of 'key' species. These studies highlight the requirement for detailed knowledge on the biology and life-histories of individual species, in order to improve understanding of the nature of responses of the biota to contamination in the field.
