Sažetak
Pollution effects on the sanitary quality of mussels (Mytikus galloprovincialis)were studied at nine stations in the coastal area of Split during the period 1984-1992. The coastal sea of Split areahas continuosly been under influence of faecal pollution. Recorded number of faecal coliforms in mussels was highly correlated with the pollution of marine environment. It caused the completely unsatisfactory bacteriological quality of Mytilus galloprovincialis species all over the investigated area. The observations of seasonal means of faecal coliform concentrations in mussels showed defined regular pattern. Maximum concentrations were recorded in summer, minimum in winter. This points to the fact that consumption of shellfish from the Split area, especially in the summer season, may cause serious risks for human health.
