As part of its bioeffects assessment program. NOAA has begun a series of surveys of the toxicity and other biological effects of toxicants in selected bays and estuaries of the U.S. (Wolfe et al., 1993). In these surveys, adverse biological effects (bioeffects) are measured in sediments with laboratory toxicity tests and in bivalve molluscs and demersal fishes with selected biomarkers. The The data are used to identify the significance of chemical contamination, spatial patterns in measures of effects, the severity of magnitude of effects, and the relationships between measures of effects and the concentrations of toxicants. In the surveys of sediment quality, toxicity tests are performed as measures of biological effects. The objectives of the sediment quality surveys are to determine: (1) the spatial patterns and extent of toxicity, (2) the severity or degree of toxicity, and (3) the relationships between toxicity and potentially toxic substances in the sediments.

This collection contains 1986-1989 Mussel Watch Data collected under National Status and Trends Program. The samples were collected along the east, west, gulf coast of the United States and two sites in Hawaii. Bivalve samples were analyzed for the presence of the following contaminants: polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH's), total DDT's and total chlorinated pesticides, and for trace metal concentrations. There are data from three phases of study, which were analyzed by Battelle Ocean Sciences. Data ranges for the three phases are: Phase 1 contains data for 288 bivalves from 96 locations; 01/07/86-05/13/86. Phase 2 contains data for 297 bivalves collected at 99 locations; 11/11/86-03/28/87. Phase 3 contains data for 321 bivalves from 107 locations; 11/20/87-03/29/88. Bivalve data also includes species, shell length, and gonadal indices. Bivalve data associated with this study (Phases 1-3) is located on the 0-data/ directory under folder number L00434.dir. Folder number L01130.dir contains the Benthic Surveillance Program Data for 1984 thru 1986. This program determines the toxic concentrations in sediments and bottom fish. Samples were collected in the same sites as described above. Sediments were analyzed for the presence of the following contaminants: polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH's), total DDT's and total chlorinated pesticides, and for trace metal concentrations. The Benthic sediment/fish data were collected concurrently with bivalve samples. However, Benthic data were only available from Battelle Ocean Sciences for Phase 1 (259 sediments at 87 locations from 01/15/86 - 05/14/86) and Phase 2 (232 sediments at 72 locations from 11/11/86 - 03/28/87) at the time of this submission.

Marine toxic substance and pollutants data were collected using sediment corer and other instruments in the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and South American waters from NOAA Ship RESEARCHER and other platforms from 16 July 1980 to 03 May 1989. Data were submitted by Donald K. Atwood of NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory. The data were collected by many institutes in the United States, Caribbean, Central and South America with support from the CARIPOL/MARPOLMON project. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Marine Toxic Substances and Pollutants Data (F144) format. The F144 format contains data on ambient concentrations of toxic substances and other pollutants in the marine environment. The data derive from laboratory analyses of samples of water, sediment, or marine organisms. Samples may have been collected near marine discharge sites or during ocean monitoring surveys of large areas. Field observations of tar deposits on beaches may also be reported. Survey information includes platform type, start and end dates, and investigator and institution. If data are collected near a discharge site, discharge location, depth, distance to shore, average volume, and other characteristics are reported. Position, date, time and environmental conditions are reported for each sample station. Environmental data may include meteorological and sea surface conditions, tide stage and height, depth of the thermocline or mixed layer surface temperature and salinity, and wave height and periods. Sample characteristics, collection methods, and laboratory techniques are reported for each sample collected and analyzed. The data record comprises concentration values (or a code to indicate trace amounts) for each chemical substance analyzed. Chemical substances are identified by codes based on the registry numbers assigned by the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) of the American Chemical Society. Marine organisms from which samples have been taken are identified using the 12-digit NODC Taxonomic Code. A text record is available for optional comments.

The accession contains Sediment Toxicity data collected from Gulf of Mexico, Hudson Bay, New York Bight, North American Coastline-North, and Pamlico Sound as part of National Status and Trends (NS&T) program. The data was collected from multiple ships between March 18, 1991 and March 3, 1993 by National Ocean Service, Rockville, MD. Originator's Macintosh Excel data submitted by Dr. Edward R. Long were converted to Lotus 1-2-3 Format at NODC. NOAA initiated an area-wide survey of sediment toxicity in 1991 to provide internally-consistent data on the spatial extent and severity of the toxicity. The intent of this survey was to sample all of the major regions within the study area (Hudson-Raritan Estuary, 40 N and 73 - 74 W), collect surficial fine-grained sediments, and determine the degree of toxicity of the sediments to laboratory organisms. Three toxicity tests were performed: a 10-day, solid phase survival test with the amphipod ampelisca abdita, a 48-hour, elutriate/ liquid phase test of development/survival with the larvae of the clam mulinia lateralis, and a 15-minute organic extract test of bioluminescence with the bacterium photobacterium phosphoreum (microtox test). Data obtained from the study "magnitude and extent of sediment toxicity in the Hudson-Raritan Estuary" was submitted in spreadsheet format in Macintosh Excel. The documentation includes details of the stations, methodology, and summary of results. Additional information may be obtained by contacting: the National Status and Trends (NS&T) Program which has monitored the concentrations of selected toxicants in sediments, oysters, and bottom-dwelling fish in Tampa Bay since 1986. The observation of high concentrations of some chemicals has prompted the NS&T Program to initiate an intensive survey of the biological effects of toxicants in the estuary. NOAA's assessment of the biological effects associated with toxicants in Tampa Bay was initiated with a research plan that involved analyses of three media: sediments, bivalve mollusks, and demersal fish. The sediment toxicity tests were intended to provide information based on laboratory tests in which "natural" factors would be controlled in assessing the significance of the toxicants, and to provide bioeffects information on a small spatial scale. Sediment samples for this study were collected in: Hills- borough Bay, all of Tampa Bay, Boca Ciega Bay, cockroach Bay, Terra Ceia Bay, Manatee River, Anna Maria Sound, St. Petersburg Harbor, Gulfport/Bear Creek, and Charlotte Harbor (i.e., between 27 N and 83 W). NOAA initiated an area-wide survey of sediment toxicity in 1991 to provide internally-consistent data on the spatial extent and severity of the toxicity. The intent of this survey was to sample all of the major regions within the study area (Newark Bay, and Arthur Kill and Passaic and Hackensack Rivers, 40 N and 75 W), collect surficial fine-grained sediments, and determine the degree of toxicity of the sediments to laboratory organisms these data are the results of the amphipod bioassay (with the amphipod ampelisca abdita), expressed in terms of percent survival. The documentation includes details of the stations, methodology, and summary of results.
