“…Limited information is available on fish and shellfish quality. Data on metals in fish and shellfish have been summarised and discussed by Brown et al (2004). These data show that there are no problems associated with the concentrations of metals in Sydney rock oysters, cockles (Anadara trapezia), dusky flathead or luderick, and while there variations in metal concentrations over time, no specific patterns are obvious.…”

Lake Illawarra is a coastal water body in southeastern Australia that has been dramatically influenced by human activities. This paper attempts to assess the current status of the Lake from an ecological health perspective. The issues associated with defining ecosystem health and the selection and use of indicators are discussed. Lake Illawarra is, geomorphologically, a middle-aged estuary, which, in terms of responding to recent stresses, is in reasonably good condition. Detailed analysis of current stresses and their possible impacts is difficult due to the nature of most of the available information Much of the data has come from short-term studies using a variety of techniques, making historical comparisons difficult. Nevertheless, indications of ongoing stress are apparent. Information gaps have been identified, and recommendations for future assessments of the condition of the Lake are presented.

Direct determination of transition metals in mussel tissue digests using high-performance chelation ion chromatography with monolithic silica based chelating ion exchangers

et al. 2013

A new high performance chelation ion chromatography method was developed for the direct separation and detection of selected transition metals in shellfish (mussel) tissue digest samples. Using two different bonded silica monolithic chelating stationary phases, exhibiting differing selectivities for metals of interest, were applied within the method. The bonded chelating chemistries were N-hydroxyethyliminodiacetic (HEIDA) and N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-(2-[phosphonomethyl)amino]acetic (HEPMA) acids. Quantitative determination of Mn(II), Cd(II) and Zn(II) concentrations within shellfish tissue (Mytilus edulis), following microwave assisted acid digestion. Post-column detection was achieved using spectophotometric detection at 510 nm after reaction with 4-(2-pyridylazo) resorcinol. The eluents employed were 0.5 M KNO 3 , pH 2.4, for the HEIDA-bonded stationary phase, and 0.1 M KNO 3 , pH 2.6, for the HEPMA-bonded monolithic column. The HEPMA phase provided improved resolution between Mn(II) and interfering alkaline earth metal cations compared to the HEIDA-bonded phase. Concentrations of metals were determined using standard addition, and Cd(II), Mn(II), and Zn(II) cations were detected at <10 mg g À1 , <50 mg g À1 and <700 mg g À1 , respectively. Sample analysis using sector field inductively coupled plasmamass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was carried out to generate comparative data to that obtained using the chromatographic method.
