Vlll ------- INTRODUCTION OIL SPILL AND OIL POLLUTION REPORTS is a quarterly bulletin which reviews pertinent scientific and technical publications and research projects to provide its readers with current developments in the field of oil pollution. This issue contains summaries of reports, publications, and patents relating to oil pollution published during the period 1974 to 1976 (Section I); summaries and status of current research projects (Section II); and current oil-related conferences (Section III). The subject coverage includes all aspects of aquatic and terrestrial oil pollution. Items in Section I are categorized by seven major subdivisions divided into thirty-four specific subject categories. These are presented in the Table of Contents. Patents and patent applications are announced in this section under appropriate subject categories. Sources of the citations appear in the list of Periodicals Reviewed in the Appendix. For indexing purposes each abstract in Section I is assigned certain keywords which highlight the main points in the entry material. The Subject Index, which is a permuted index listing alphabetically the keywords and citation number of each abstract, appears at the end of the report. The Master List of Keywords is also included at the end of this issue. Official names of countries and geographic regions of the world were obtained from The Statesman's Yearbook 1975-1976 (John Paxton ed., New York, St. Martin's Press, 1975) and U.S. Board on Geographic Names. Gazetteer, (prepared by U.S. Department of the Interior). Section II presents titles of active or recently completed oil pollution research projects, summaries of project objectives, and current status information and/or resulting publications provided upon request by the principal investigators or performing organizations. Notices of research projects were obtained from the Smithsonian Science Information Exchange (SSIE), Maritime Research Information Service Abstracts (MRIS), Aquatic Microbiology Newsletter, and Environmental Research, American Petroleum Institute Annual Status Report. Entries are arranged according to the same subject categories as in Section I and are ordered by serial number within each subject division. Some of the current projects listed in previous Oil Pollution Reports have been recently renewed. These projects have been relisted and headed by the same serial number as originally reported, followed by the word (renewal). Renewal entries are listed at the beginning of each subject category. Section III, Current Oil-Related Conferences, contains descriptive information on recent and future conferences relating to environmental oil pollution. Conference dates are listed; and, when information is available, titles, authors, and abstracts of conference papers are included. All information for this section was obtained from the periodicals reviewed (Appendix) and from responses to personal inquiries concerning the symposia.

Booms, Oil slicks, Emulsions This paper describes the performance of an oil containment boom for holding emulsified oil slicks. Unlike typical viscous oil slicks, which are Newtoniam fluids, many emulsified oil slicks are Bingham Plastics in character, and thus behave differently during contain- ment. For example, emulsified oil slicks can be contained within a boom at much greater velocities than viscous oil slicks. C-1326-76 LABORATORY EVALUATION OF OIL HERDERS Nagy, E. 1974. Water - 1974: I.

Oil spills, Cleanup, Booms, Skimmers, Dispersants This paper describes five basic systems used by the Swedish Coast Guard to fight offshore oil spills. The larqest system uses a 225 metric ton ship equipped with an inflatable oil boom and floating skimmer connected to a tanker or inflatable containers. Other systems include a conveyor belt and a drum formed floating skimmer; a landing-craft-type work boat equipped with various types of oil booms, pickup devices, and storage containers; and a system with portable suction pumps. The last system, used especially for lumpy or viscous oils, employs a specially designed surface operating trawl and derrick-handled gripper apparatus. Widely spread oils are absorbed with peatmoss or synthetics, burned, dispersed with surfactants, or submerged to facilitate biological and chemical degradation.

The addition of nitrogen and phosphorus enhanced biodegradation. Prudhoe crude, Arctic Diesel and JP5 were shown to be subject to biodegradation at low temperatures by indige- nous Arctic microorganisms when nitrogen and phosphorus were added. Crude oil contamination and S02 exposure inhibited essential algal and lichen metabolic activities.

Environmental effects, Biological effects, Marine organisms, Shorelines An oil industry-sponsored, comprehensive program concerning the fate and effects of oil in the marine environment reports the following preliminary results: organisms release oil contaminants quickly after exposure to an oil spill has ended, and thereby do not concentrate it and pass it up the food chain. Also, the composition of oil changes rapidly after spillage, and the most toxic, volatile aromatic hydro- carbons evaporate rapidly. By this process, the relatively inert residual hydrocarbons are left, which may or may not reach the biologi- cally most sensitive intertidal shoreline zone.

Spill characteristics include name, date, time, location of occurrence, type and amount of substance spilled, source and cause, cleanup characteristics, and vessel information. [SSIE No. GMA-2331] Status: The Spill Directory is being updated and expanded under contract with the Environmental Protection Agency. This project is due for completion by November, 1976; however, documentation on spills is expected to continue indefinitely. The spill project includes developing an international network of scientists and other professionals interested in exchanging current research reports on the environmental, economic, social and cleanup aspects of spills taking place in the world. The network.called Interspill, will be coordinated through Strategic Environmental Plan- ning. Composite summaries of spill research on selected spills will be printed for dissemination to all participants. Periodic summary research reports on particular spills, which will be available at a cost to interested parties, will be prepared. Spill information collected in the Spill Directory is computerized in an "electronic file cabinet system." Information is stored in testual or narrative form. The computerized system is being developed to allow on-line interaction with the file and will be capable of responding to particular inquiries about spill characteristics, spill research results, and personnel involved in studying the various aspects of spill impacts and management around the world.

An electrolytic stripping technique has been developed for separating trace quantities of hydrocarbons from a seawater extract. 207 ------- Status: Studies on the development of liquid crystal columns for hydrocarbon separation and analysis are continuing. Pilot studies have demonstrated that the electrolytic stripping technique provides a valable tool for the concentration of heavy hydrocarbon contami- nants without need for introducing an extraction solvent, with its own trace contaminants, into the system. A study of the fluorescence spectra of molecules containing from one to five benzene rings in aqueous solution in concentrations ranging from saturation down to 0.1 ppb has been conducted, and a manuscript presenting the results of this study has been prepared.

Box 1280, Houston, TX 77001 Supporting Agency: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Oil and Hazardous Materials Spills Branch, No.68-03-0331 Period: Unknown (completed). A boom capable of diverting oil spills toward shore in a 5.5 km/hr river or tidal current has been developed. The boom is made up of 2.5 m long, rigid sections similar in plan view to a floating dock module. Loss of No. 2 and No. 4 fuel oil at a velocity of 5.5 km/hr is less than 15% when the angle of the boom is 45 degrees to the shoreline. In contrast, conventional booms lose this amount at only 1.8 km/hr. Reports and Publications HIGH CURRENT CONTROL OF FLOATING OIL Dorrler, J.S., R. Ayers, and D.C. Wooten. 1975.

Pollution and Physiology of Marine Organisms. F.J. and W.B. Verberg (eds.)s New York, Academic Press, 1974. p.285-310. Laboratory studies on the short-term toxicity, rates of accumulation and release, and metabolic response to two crude and two refined oils were conducted. Three organisms were used. Water-soluble fractions of the refined oils were the most toxic. Rates of accumu- lation were rapid, but the hydrocarbons were only retained briefly. Metabolic responses varied.

New York, Academic Press, 1974. p.83-121 A review is presented of the research conducted on the sublethal effects of three major pollutant classes commonly found in estuarine environments. Results indicated that levels of petroleum hydrocarbons in animal tissues may act to temporarily alter the regulatory ability of test individuals; the class of hydrocarbons accumulated to the greatest extent and retained the longest in animals being the naphthalenes. PETROLEUM HYDROCARBONS AND OYSTER RESOURCES OF GALVESTON BAY, TEXAS Anderson, R.D. 1975. Conference on Prevention and Control of Oil Pollution, San Francisco, 1975. p.541-548. Significant amounts of petroleum-derived hydrocarbons were detected in oysters collected at the lower end of the Houston Ship Canal. Once transferred to oil-free seawater, oysters released saturated chains and most aromatic fractions rapidly with depuration to less than 0.1 ppm within 52 days. Transfer of oysters may improve the overall quality of this shellfish resource. EFFECTS OF SALINITY AND SELECTED PETROLEUM HYDROCARBONS ON THE OSMOTIC AND CHLORIDE REGULATION OF THE AMERICAN OYSTER, CRASSOSTREA VIRGINICA Anderson, R.D., and J.W. Anderson. 1975. Physiological Zoology 48(4):420-430. 230 ------- Oysters exposed to No. 2 fuel oil were unable to osmotically adjust at the same rate as the control group when salinity concentrations were altered. Those exposed to South Louisiana crude oil, however, responded to salinity changes much like the controls. After 10 days in oil-free seawater, all oysters exposed to either No. 2 fuel oil or South Louisiana crude oil reached equilibrium with the respective media. SOME EFFECTS OF NO. 2 FUEL OIL ON THE BROWN SHRIMP PENAEUS AZTECUS Cox, B.A. and L.W. Anderson. 1973. American Zoologist 13(4):262. Abstracts. The uptake and depuration of water-soluble fractions of No. 2 fuel oil by three size groups of brown shrimp were examined. Total hydrocarbons present were determined by infrared spectrophotometry. When shrimp of two size classes were exposed to 1.3 ppm No. 2 fuel oil fractions for 20 hours, maximum uptake for both classes occurred within the first exposure hour, and depuration began during the 20 exposure hours. Larger shrimp were found to absorb four times as much of the oil fractions as did smaller shrimp, but depuration occurred more rapidly in the large size group.

Environmental Pollution 10(1):9-18. Of the water soluble fractions of the four oils tested, the two refined oils were more toxic than the two cruJe oils. The refined oils contained more diaromatic compounds (naphthalenes) which is the probable reason for their increased toxicity. Although the two species of annelids differed slightly in sensitivity, they were similar to fish and crustaceans in their reaction to these four oils.

Toxicity studies showed the refined No. 2 fuel oil and Venezuelan Bunker C oil to be six times more toxic to mysids than either Southern Louisiana crude or Kuwait crude oil. Naphthalene compounds in the No. 2 fuel oil were found to be responsible for most of the toxicity. White shrimp (P.. setiferus) and brown shrimp (P_. aztecus) were less sensitive to water-soluble fractions (WSF) of No. 2 fuel oil than the mysid (M. almyra). Growth rate, molting frequency, and respiratory rate in these animals were not altered by the WSF of No. 2 fuel oil or crude oil.

Performing Organization: Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, MA 02543 Supporting Agency: American Petroleum Institute, No. OS-20L Period: 7/74 to 12/75 A study is being conducted to determine the state of recovery of the entire West Falmouth area affected by the 1969 spill. Results have indicated that the benthic fauna of the area have substantially recovered, although the number of species in the Wild Harbor marsh is lower than at a control marsh. The offshore area is closer to total recovery than either the marsh or boat basin. Status: In mid-to late 1974, the contractor found that his control stations, not previously affected by the oil spill, were decreasing in bottom animal life. Subsequent observations indicated these changes to be unrelated to the oil spill, that the exposed marsh is indistin- guishable from the control, and that only an acre in the boat basin remains affected. Field studies were completed by the end of 1975 and the final project report will follow. Information Source: Environmental Research, Annual Status Report. API Publication No. 4275. February, 1976.

A coastal tidal - marsh estuarine ecosystem was modified by erection by oil containment barriers so as to provide mini-ecosystem oil test sites and controls. Spills of both fresh and artificially-aged South Louisiana crude were made, and results to date indicate that the initial toxicity of the aged crude was greater than that of fresh crude. The aged crude showed an initial kill of all caged fish and substantial marsh grass kills. Subsequent observations with caged fish indicate the toxicity of the aged crude to be of short duration.

Parameters being examined include species composition, abundance and diversity, zonation, hydrocarbon analyses of animal tissues and algal biomass, and preliminary analyses of tar globules and the effects of weathering. Status: The following conclusions resulted from the first year's work: there is no measurable effect of tar influx on the number of organisms of any species inhabiting the intertidal zone; there is no relationship of tar influx to their reproductive patterns; and their size frequency is unaffected by either tar influx or tar coverage. Conclusions concerning the content of hydrocarbons in tissues of species as a result of tar pollution are not yet definitive. Additional research to be conducted in the second year includes investigation of organisms which inhabit the splash zone and tide pools along the shore- line where tar accumulates.

Adult mallard ducks adapted to seawater are being fed diets containing known concentrations of crude oils from various geographical locations. Factors being monitored include body weight, amounts of food and oil consumed daily, hormonal status of the adrenal glands, and environmental stress. The data are compared with those from control groups fed uncontaminated food. Results: The team's study over the past four years has demonstrated that when crude oil is ingested by seawater-adapted ducklings the uptake of water and salts from the intestine is impaired. As a result, the physiological mechanisms that balance the intake and excretion of water and salts in these birds are disturbed. Information Source: W.N.

After each exposure, 14C in key organs (i.e. liver, brain) increased with time in the order anthracene> naphthalene>benzene. After intraperitoneal injection, the highest percentages of aromatic metabolites occurred in the gall bladder and significant amounts were found in the liver, brain, and muscle. Data suggests that aromatic metabolites are broadly distributed in fish exposed to polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons and considera- tion of these products should be included when quantifying aromatic hydrocarbons in marine fish.

McKay Performing Organization: Harvard University, Division of Engineering and Applied Physics, Cambridge, MA 02138 Supporting Agency: Department of the Navy, Office of Naval Research Period: 6/69 to ? Recent observations indicate that crude oil possesses some limited solubility chemoreception in seawater and may have an inhibitory effect on chemoreception in marine bacteria. The effects of chemical pollutants in the sea on chemoreception in microorganisms will be studied. Work will encompass 1) the ecological significance of chemotaxis, and 2) the effects of pollutants on chemoreception. Results: The addition of pollutants to bacterial suspensions at concentrations of 10-4 M significantly inhibits chemotaxis. Chlorinated hydrocarbons, petroleum hydrocarbons, alcohols, and metal salts all inhibited chemoreception. These concentrations are not lethal and the chemotactic response can be regained. Chlorinated-hydrocarbons have a greater effect than petroleum hydrocarbons on chemotaxis. 239 ------- Reports and Publications EFFECT OF CHEMICAL POLLUTANTS ON CHEMOTAXIS Walsh, F., and R.

Reports and Publications DEEP-SEA BACTERIA. GROWTH AND UTILIZATION OF N-HEXADECANE AT IN SITU TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE Schwarz, J.R., J.D. Walker, and R.R. Colwell. 1975. Canadian Journal of Microbiology 21(5):682-687. A mixed culture of bacteria obtained from the sediment-water inter- face off the Florida coast at a depth of 4940 m utilized n-hexadecane as a sole carbon source for growth at the in situ temperature (4°) and pressure (500 atm). Rate of utilization under deep sea conditions was much slower than the rate observed at ambient pressure (1 atm) and low temperature. (4°).

Technical report, Contract N00014-67-A-0239-0027, Grant NSF-GA- 27725. 12p. Bacteria collected from sediment samples at a depth of 4,940 m off the Florida coast utilized n-tetradecane at both ambient and in situ pressures; however, at ambient temperatures, the rate of hydrocarbon utilization under in situ pressure (500 atm) was significantly less than utilization at ambient pressure (1 atm). Individual isolates from the mixed culture did not utilize n-tetra- decane, indicating potential synergistic relationships. 250 ------- UTILIZATION OF MIXED HYDROCARBON SUBSTRATE BY PETROLEUM- DEGRADING MICROORGANISMS Walker, J.D., H.F. Austin, and R.R. Colwell. 1975. Journal of General and Applied Microbiology 21(l):27-39. The ability of petroleum-degrading yeasts, fungi, and bacteria to degrade a mixed hydrocarbon substrate is reported. Cumene, naphthalene, phenanthrene, pristane, 1, 2-benzanthracene, perylene, and pyrene were degraded by microorganisms. The patterns for hydrocarbon utilization were similar for bacteria, yeasts and fungi; however, utilization by individual isolates varied significantly. ENUMERATION OF PETROLEUM DEGRADING MICROORGANISMS Walker, J.D., and R.R. Colwell. 1976. Applied and Environmental Microbiology 31(2):198-207. The effects of various factors, including oil concentration, anti- biotics, dyes, and inoculum washes, on the total counts of microorganisms on oil-containing media were determined. Media containing 0.5% (vol/vol) oil and 0.003% phenol red, with Fungizone added for isolating bacteria and streptomycin and tetracycline added for yeasts and fungi, was found to be best for enumerating petroleum degraders. Incubation temperature and presence of oil were found to affect the numbers of petroleum-degrading microorganisms at sampling sites. MEASURING THE POTENTIAL ACTIVITY OF PETROLEUM-DEGRADING BACTERIA Walker, J.D., and R.R. Colwell. 1976. Applied and Environmental Microbiology 31(2):189-197. [C-14] hydrocarbons were used to evaluate the hydrocarbon-degrading potential of bacteria in estuarine and marine environments. Amount of mineralization of [C~14] hexadecane can be equated with the total number of petroleum-degrading bacteria and the percentage of the total heterotrophic bacteria population which they represent. MICROBIAL PETROLEUM DEGRADATION: USE OF MIXED HYDROCARBON SUBSTRATES Walker, J.D., and R.R. Colwell. 1974. Applied Microbiology 27(6):1053-1060. A comparison is made of methods estimating the microbial degradation of petroleum. Gas-liquid chromatography with a mixed hydrocarbon 251 ------- substrate is shown to be a useful method for evaluating the microbial potential of hydrocarbon degradation. BACTERIAL DEGRADATION OF MOTOR OIL Walker, J.D., R.R. Colwell, and L. Petrakis. 1975. Journal of the Water Pollution Control Federation 47(8):2058-2066. Natural populations of bacteria were used to attempt to degrade petroleum under both optimum and real-world conditions. Oil discharged from wastewater treatment plants can be biodegraded. Microorganisms in the water column have more potential for biodegradation of oils than those in the sediments. BIODEGRADATION OF PETROLEUM BY CHESAPEAKE BAY SEDIMENT BACTERIA Walker, J.D., R.R. Colwell, and L. Petrakis. 1976. Canadian Journal of Microbiology 22(3): 423-428. Degradation products of petroleum-degrading bacteria from oil-free and oil polluted sediments were analyzed and compared using techniques of preferential solubility, column chromatography, gas-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Microorganisms from oil polluted sediments effectively utilized saturated and aromatic hydrocarbons, whereas those from oil-free sediments produced greater quantities of residual asphaltenes. EVALUATION OF PETROLEUM-DEGRADING POTENTIAL OF BACTERIA FROM WATER AND SEDIMENT Walker, J.D., R.R. Colwell, and L. Petrakis. 1975. Applied Microbiology 30(6):1036-1039. Bacteria from water and sediment of an oil-polluted harbor were examined for ability to degrade petroleum. Water samples contained a larger variety of oil-degrading bacteria than sediment samples. These bacteria produced significantly greater degradation of several hydrocarbons than bacteria from the sediment. 252 ------- MICROBIAL DEGRADATION: APPLICATION OF COMPUTERIZED MASS SPECTROMETRY Walker, J.D., R.R. Colwell, and L. Petrakis. 1975. Canadian Journal of Microbiology 21(11):1760-1967. The use of computerized low-resolution mass spectrometry is offered as a method for elucidating microbial degradation of petroleum. In this study the degradation of a South Louisiana crude oil by a mixed culture of estuarine bacteria was evaluated using this proce- dure. COMPARISON OF THE BIODEGRADABILITY OF CRUDE AND FUEL OILS Walker, J.D., L. Petrakis, and R.R. Colwell. 1976. Canadian Journal of Microbiology 22(4) .-598-602. The ability of two crude and two fuel oils to support growth of a mixed population of estuarine bacteria was examined. Each of the oils supported a unique population of bacteria and yeasts. Low sulfur, high saturate South Louisiana crude oil was highly susceptible to degradation; in contrast, the dense high sulfur Bunker C fuel oil was strongly recalcitrant to biodegradation. EFFECT OF SOUTH LOUISIANA CRUDE OIL AND NO. 2 FUEL OIL ON THE GROWTH OF HETEROTROPHIC MICROORGANISMS, INCLUDING PROTEOLYTIC, LIPOLYTIC, CHITINOLYTIC AND CELLULOLYTIC BACTERIA Walker, J.D., P.A. Seesman, and R.R. Colwell. 1975. Environmental Pollution 9(1):13-33. The susceptibility of autochthonous microorganisms from Muddy Creek (Chesapeake Bay) to South Louisiana crude oil and No. 2 fuel oil was tested. The sediment from the creek was free of oil. The yeast and fungi populations did not react to either the crude or fuel oil. But both crude and fuel oil were toxic to bacteria of all types. Information Source: R.R.

Boyle, and J.P. McGivern Performing Organization: Houston Research Inc., 8330 Broadway, Houston, TX 77012 Supporting Agency: Department of the Navy, Office of Naval Research Period: 5/72 to ? The contract provides for the evaluation of previously isolated and newly isolated microorganisms for their ability to oxidize oil; comparison of combined microbial systems (intact and disrupted cells) with intact cells for rapid oxidation of an oil slick under optimum conditions; and data for design concepts and environmental acceptability criteria. Results: Forty hydrocarbon-degrading microorganisms have been isolated and have been partially characterized physiologically and morphologically. Hydrocarbon oxidizing capabilities are being evaluated. In these studies removal of paraffinic compounds is significant, whereas naphthenics and aromatics increase correspondingly. The asphaltic component remains constant. One experiment to determine the effectiveness of the technique has been carried out using a mixed culture and disrupted and intact cells. The disrupted cell approach is being evaluated as a possible technique for the biodegradation of hydrocarbons on a pilot scale (1200 1 seawater plus 100 ml oil).

Applied and Environmental Microbiology 31(3):408-414. The study was designed to compare the morphology and ultrastructure of a PeniciIlium sp. when grown in liquid culture on n-hexadecane or peptone using transmission and scanning electron microscopy. The fungus grew as hollow mycelial balls surrounding individual hydrocarbon droplets on n-hexadecane and as solid mycelial balls on peptone. Inclusions were present in the hexadecane-grown mycelium that were absent when the fungus was grown on peptone. These findings support the generality that hydrocarbons are sequestered in bacteria, yeast, and fungi. Information Source: R.W.

Oil Pollution Related Papers INPUT OF OIL AND ITS SUBSEQUENT DISTRIBUTION IN THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT Levy, E.M. "The inputs of petroleum to the marine environment and the pathways by which it is distributed are discussed briefly. Existing concentration levels in each of the marine reservoirs are considered in detail, with particular emphasis on the distribution of tar on the surface of the ocean and of dissolved/dispersed petroleum residues in the water column." THE ENVIRONMENTAL FATES OF PETROLEUM IN MARINE WATERS Morris, B. Environmental processes which result in alteration and elimination of crude crl I after spillage are detailed. Evaporation and solution are initially the most important processes and can remove up to 60% of the hydrocarbons of crude oils within a few days. The slower weathering processes, including photooxidation, chemical (auto-) oxidation, and microbial degradation then become dominant. These oxidative processes are most effective with dispersed oils, followed by thin surface films, oil in water emulsions, surface slicks, and tar lumps. Beaching, sinking, and physical disintegration are the fates of residual, inert, asphaltene hydrocarbons in the environment. ECOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF OIL Stegeman, J.C. Research trends since 1970 are discussed in regard to the following aspects of oil pollution: 1) Bioaccumulation of hydrocarbons with emphasis on mechanisms and pharmacokinetics; 2) The acute and chronic effects of various oils, their 266 ------- specific components, and oil dispersants on the metabolism and physiology of various faunal and floral assemblages; and 3) The mechanisms and effects of hydrocarbon metabolism. In addition, the paper identifies necessary areas for future research efforts. SAMPLING, METHODOLOGY, INSTRUMENTATION AND STANDARDS FOR PETROLEUM ANALYSIS IN THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT Zsolnay, A. Various procedures used in the detection and monitoring of oil pollutants are discussed. Emphasis is placed on compre- hensive proceudres which give the greatest return for expendable efforts in any particular analysis.

Oil Pollution Related Papers GUIDELINES FOR REGIONAL BASELINE STUDIES OF CONTAMINANTS IN COASTAL AREAS Mandelli, E.F. Guidelines have been formulated for organizing regional baseline studies of offshore contaminant inputs such as petroleum. The scope of such studies should include the detection and control of contaminants not considered dangerous at present levels. RELATIONSHIP OF SCARLET PRAWN (PLESIOPENAEUS EDWARDSIANUS) TO A BENTHIC OIL DEPOSIT OFF THE NORTHWEST COAST OF ARUBA, DUTCH WEST INDIES Thompson, H.C., Jr., R.N. Farragut, and M.H. Thompson During research cruises of the FRV OREGON II in 1970 and 1973, substantially larger quantities of scarlet prawns were found in areas of abenthicoil deposit than in adjacent unpolluted ocean floor. Chemical analysis indicates that in the areas of oil the prawns contained abnormally high quantities of an unusual N-paraffin hydrocarbon series. A probable explanation for the greater abundance of crusta- ceans in the oil polluted areas is discussed. A BASELINE STUDY ON THE LEVELS OF SOME CONTAMINANTS IN TERMINOS LAGOON, CAMPECHE, MEXICO Botello, A.V., E. Hicks, and E.F. Mandelli Pollution studies were conducted for heavy metals, and biogenic and fossil hydrocarbons present in the seawater 270 ------- sediments and marine organisms of a coastal lagoon near Campeche, Mexico. The lagoon was chosen as a preindustrial- ization model for comparison with other coastal lagoons. The analysis of hydrocarbons in the sediments was found to be useful in delineating areas affected by harbor activities. FFI concerning proceedings contact Harris B.

Rudiger The paper presents an evaluation of the oil recovery per- formance of "Clean Sweep", Lockheed's High Seas Oil Recovery System (HORS) which was developed under U.S. Coast Guard contract. Parameters considered in the analysis of full- scale and model-scale units are oil properties, sea states, relative current velocities, optimum disc rotation rate for maximum recovery, and the rate of oil feeding into the disc. More than 100 "Clean Sweep" devices have been tested in sheltered water to open sea conditions, and their recovery rates are nearly 3800 liters/minute with less than 5 percent water content. Paper 12F DEVELOPMENT OF AN OIL-WATER POLLUTION MONITOR Tyler, B.D., and T.M.
