| Abstract |
The report describes the effects on the marine and estuarine benthos of no. 2 fuel oil spilled by the barge FLORIDA off West Falmouth, Massachusetts. Analyses of hydrocarbons established that pollution was greatest and most persistent in the intertidal and subtidal zones of Wild Harbor River, less severe in degree and duration at stations farthest from shore. Plants, crustaceans, fish, and birds suffered both high mortality immediately after the spill, and physiological and behavioral abnormalities directly related to high concentrations of the fuel oil. |
