An active biomonitoring of organochlorinated compounds in the eastern Adriatic coastal waters (Croatia) using caged mussels

Within the framework of the MEDICIS programme, the regional project MYTIAD was undertaken in May-July 2008 to assess contamination along the coast of western and eastern Adriatic sea. This research was a part of an interregional coastal water quality monitoring network in the Mediterranean basin based on active biomonitorig using caged mussels. In this paper, the distribution and levels of organochlorinated (OC) compounds along Croatian part of the Adriatic sea are presented. The possible influence of physiological parameters on OCs levels has been statistically examined.
