Parrish, P.R., J.C. Moore and J.R. Clark. 1989. Dredged Material Effects Assessment: Single-Species Toxicity/Bioaccumulation and Macrobenthos Colonization Tests. In: Oceans '89 Proceedings. Vol. 2: Ocean Pollution. EPA/600/D-89/134. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, NY. Pp. 611-616. (ERL,GB 675). (Avail. from NTIS, Springfield, VA: PB90-113101)

Toxicity tests and bioaccumulation tests conducted according to methods established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency/Corps of Engineers in 1977 have been used to evaluate potential environmental impacts of ocean disposal of dredged materials. Our objective was to compare assessments of potential impacts based on results of currently recommended single-species tests with results from macrobenthos colonization tests of dredged material from three harbors in the Gulf of Mexico and two in the Atlantic Ocean.
