“…The low levels were attributed to rapid breakdown due to high air and water temperatures, intensive solar radiation, rapid bacterial action and high water mixing rates. These results have been recently confirmed by Mille et al (1992), Badawy et al (1993) and Al-Saad & AlTimari (1993). Odd/even carbon chain length ratios show that the hydrocarbons originate in algae and plants as well as from anthropogenic sources.…”

This paper reviews some of the field aspects of hydrocarbon bacteriology in the marine environment. The first section recapitulates the current position with regard to the input of polluting oil into the sea and the main environmental factors which govern the rate of oil breakdown. The second deals with the 1991 oil spill during the Gulf War and what is known about the bacteriology of that area, together with some recent data from Japan. Thirdly a critical review of the theory and practise of bioremediation as applied to contaminated beaches in several parts of the world leads to the conclusion that there are still a lot of unknown variables that must be better understood before the method can be of widespread use. Finally a short review of gaseous hydrocarbons in the sea suggests that methane from petrogenic or biogenic sources is of both practical and theoretical interest and importance for the future.

“…However, distribution of n-alkanes with even carbon number preferences has been much less reported (Nishimura and baker 1986;Grimalt and Albaigés 1985Debyser et al 1977;Mille et al 1992Mille et al , 2007. Furthermore, in some studies such distribution has been reported together with the occurrence of even carbon number n-alk-1-enes, especially in the range of C22-C30 Albaigés 1985, 1987).…”

“…In agreement, the identification of this peak by GC/MS did not show a positive result for n-C20. Millie et al (1992) referred to three compounds that elute just before n-C21 with RT and mass spectrum indicative of a group of branched alkenes from C25 and monoenes from C21. In addition to n-C15, n-C17, and n-C19, compounds around n-C21 RT are known to be synthesized by (Table 5).…”

Seaweeds have been used as food since ancient times. The edible brown algae Undaria pinnatifida is native to northeast Asia; however, in 1992, the first specimens in Patagonian environments were found and, since then, have rapidly expanded. The main object of this study was to determine, for the first time in Argentina, the nutritive composition and concentrations of trace elements and hydrocarbons in these alien algae and evaluate their usefulness as food. Sexually mature U. pinnatifida samples were collected at 10-m depth in the Nuevo and San José gulfs. The first site is influenced by activities from Puerto Madryn city, and the latter place was considered as the control. Protein, dietary fiber, and mineral concentrations were similar in both gulfs and in the same order as in eastern countries. Crude protein, indigestible fiber, and calcium and magnesium concentrations were greatest in blade; lipid concentration was greatest in sporophyll; and sodium and potassium concentrations were greatest in midrib. Amino acids showed the greatest concentrations in blades, and these were greater than those reported in kelp from Japan. Cadmium (Cd), arsenic, mercury, and hydrocarbons were detected, but only Cd showed concentrations that could be a risk for consumption. In Argentina, maximum acceptable levels of these contaminants in seaweeds are not established.
