Florida water

This organism, an unarmored dinoflagellate, has been observed in sporadic outbreaks in west coast Florida waters and in other nearshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico (1). Outbreaks have a considerable social, public health and economic impact because of fish kills. For example, the outbreak that lasted for three summer months during...

Human activities have resulted in exposure of Antarctic fishes to petroleum-derived PAHs (McDonald et al. 1992). Fish captured near Palmer station on the Antarctic peninsula had induced EROD activities and elevated concentrations of biliary PAH metabolites of phenanthrene and naphthalene when compared to conspecifics from reference sites (McDonald et al. 1995). Artificial reefs consisting of oil and coal flyash stabilized with cement and lime in Florida waters near Vero Beach contained elevated PAH levels ranging from as high as 1.2 mg fluoranthene/kg and 0.25 mg naphthalene/kg. But there is negligible leaching because seawater is not an effective medium for removing PAHs from reef bricks or the ash (Frease and Windsor 1991).

Effectiveness in the ocean, although comparative tests of toxicants on G. breve cultured in an artificial medium and in sea water from Florida suggested that the Florida water contained an inhibitor that reduced the effectiveness of the toxicants (38).

The fluorine levels observed for modem materials were, in general, comparable with those observed in other work (7,8). Included are the data of JaflFee and Sherwood (9) for modern and fossil manatee rib specimens from Florida waters and land-pebble phosphate deposits, respectively. The modem specimen shows a somewhat higher fluoride level than generally observed for modem bone. Since this sample was taken from an articulated skeleton (USNM 228478), only a small sample was taken. It is possible that preparation of the skeleton for display or the small sample size reduced the representativeness of the measurement.
