“…The relationship of these features which lead to progressive trends in accumulation is not yet understood properly. (Shaw et al, 1986) Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and n-alkanes remain aquatic environment chronic elements and their concentrations have significantly augmented because of anthropogenic actions. This pretentious adverse effects, specifically in seaside zones adjacent to greatly populated city areas.…”

The Bivalve carpet shell clams Donax semistriatus was collected seasonally from three locations on the Mediterranean coastline, Idku urban, North Egypt. The greatest dominant size of the clam D. semistriatus is the individuals with class intervals of 12.8-22.3 mm. The population of D. semistriatus exhibited two periods of recruitment each year. The results of the biochemical analyses exhibited a significant increase in moisture contents in D. semistriatus during the summer season. The obvious increment in protein contents was reported in D. semistriatus during the autumn season, while ash contents decreased during the winter season. Both aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon concentrations were higher in winter than in summer. The present Highest content of aliphatic hydrocarbon (48605.87) was in summer at site "2" and the lowest content of aliphatic hydrocarbon (4052.33) was in winter at the site "1". The highest content of aromatic hydrocarbon (4525.56) was in winter at site "3" and the lowest content of aromatic hydrocarbon (873.36) was in summer at the site "1". Site "2" has the highest concentration of hydrocarbon because of sea currents near the natural gas company, located in site "1".

“…Ref. 30 found that increases in the concentrations of various hydrocarbon fractions in the mussel Mytilus edulis declined by factors of two to four over distances of a few kilometres from the Port Valdez oil terminal in Alaska. Such bioaccumulation does not necessarily lead to impact.…”

TX 75083-3836, U.S.A., fax 01-972-952-9435. AbstractThe ecological effects of acute oil releases into marine systems, such as occurs in major oil spill incidents, have been well documented. Less information has been collected together on the effects of chronic oil inputs, such as produced formation water discharges or municipal/industrial run-off into oceans, which are of greater frequency and total quantity. A review of existing field and laboratory knowledge has been conducted and the results analysed with respect to oil type and source, habitats at risk and species impacted.The results are discussed under key themes including habitats/ecosystems and the basis for assessing ecological risk. Some gaps in knowledge have been identified and suggestions made for future work to address scientific and regulatory needs.
