The use of oyster, Crassostrea giga, embryo bioassay on the water and sediment elutriate samples from the German Bight (North Sea)

J.E. Thain

Oyster (Crassostrea gigas) embryo bioassays were carried out on samples of sub-surface water, surface microlayer and sediment elutriates collected during the Bremerhaven Workshop from 9 stations along a transect from the inner German Bight to the Dogger Bank. The results gave no indication of poor water quality in the surface waters. Oyster embryo development was impaired in 2 of the 4 surface microlayer samples and in the sediment elutriate samples from the 3 inner stations.
