OverviewThe team quantify chemical substances in fishes and molluscs to monitor the their pollution induced by tsunami. We also estimate the trophic position of these samples to better understand the pollution reality with considering the bioaccumulation of chemical substances.
Overview of the Observation
Results and Future PlanWe collected organisms and sediments and measured PCBs abundances.
