TI  - Exposure and response of aquacultured oysters, Crassostrea gigas, to marine 
      contaminants.
PG  - 375-82
AB  - Comparative growth rates were monitored in the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, 
      at two sites in Singapore, one uncontaminated and the other contaminated with 
      respect to ambient seawater quality. Growth rates differed significantly at the 
      two sites, revealing that marine water quality can have potentially adverse 
      effects for the oyster aquaculture industry in Singapore. Shell abnormalities 
      (chambering) were observed for juvenile and mature oysters at the contaminated 
      site. Water quality parameters including temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, 
      total organic carbon and chlorophyll-a were essentially similar at both sites. 
      Differences in the levels of tributyl tin detected in soft tissues were not 
      observed, but significant differences in the burden of persistent organic 
      pollutants (POPs) existed between the two sites. On a positive note, the effects 
      of pollution on oysters were found to be reversible, where transplantation of 
      individuals to the uncontaminated site resulted in the ability of C. gigas to 
      recover in terms of growth rate and the burden of bioaccumulated POPs.
