A manipulative field experiment examining the effect of contaminated sediment on the recruitment and recolonisation of soft-sediment infauna.

Entry ID: ASAC_2201_Casey_SRE1

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: The effect of location, depth and sediment contamination on recruitment of soft-sediment assemblages were examined in a pilot experiment at Casey Station, East Antarctica. Two locations were used, a polluted bay adjacent to an old disused tip site (Brown Bay) and an undisturbed control (O'Brien Bay). At each location two types of defaunated sediment (polluted and control) were placed at 2 depths, ...
