“…The most important routes of metal uptake by aquatic organisms are those from solution and from food. The knowledge on the predominant route of metal uptake, either from solution or from food, would be of benefit for estimating the usefulness of various organisms as biomonitors (Phillips and Rainbow 1993).…”

“…Sampling the water column for metals is difficult as contaminants are usually in very low concentrations (Phillips & Rainbow, 1993) and contaminants may vary widely with time (Phillips, 1980) . Furthermore, comparison of these results with those of previous authors is difficult as different seaweed species or different portions of the same species have been used .…”

The aim of this work is to describe changes in heavy metal concentrations in Ascophyllum nodosum from 1964 to 1994 . Samples were collected from three sites in the Firth of Clyde and analysed for zinc, manganese, iron, copper, lead and nickel . The results were analysed using the multivariate technique Principal Components Analysis (PCA) . At the Wemyss Bay site there was a trend towards increasing lead and nickel over the study period, which could not be accounted for by local industrial activity . At the Hunterston site, two groups were well separated by the PCA ordination, based on manganese and zinc concentrations, which corresponded to land reclamation activities in the area . The separation of samples at the Ardneil Bay site correlated well with copper concentration and this corresponded to the termination of industrial effluent with heavy copper loadings . Other changes in industrial effluent were also reflected in the Hunterston and Ardneil Bay site ordinations . The PCA technique highlighted the interplay between metals . The work demonstrated the potential for using multivariate analysis of seaweed metal concentrations in monitoring a posteriori the environmental impact of industrial change .
