Abstract

Since 1985 the common mussel Mytulis edulis has been collected, characterized and stored within the framework of the German Environmental Specimen Bank program. Selected results about the determination of various pollutants such as heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and chlorinated hydrocarbons are presented. Particular emphasis is given to the comparison of seasonal variations with respect to different environmental contaminants and their correlations depending on sampling location and time.
