Distribution & AbundanceDistribution & AbundanceSurveySurvey
• WDFW guidelines
• April 8-May 10, 2002
• 11.3 Km (7 miles) shorelinesurveyed -4 to -70 MLLW
• 5,989 m (19,650 ft gridlines)

Special Lab ConsiderationsSpecial Lab Considerations
• Bacteria--stainless steelblender w/ SS blades
• Glass blender w/titaniumblades for metals & organics
• Ceramic knife for cutting
• Sand rinsed
• Chlorinated herbicideanalysis didn’t work--allattempts to removeinterferences failed

MetalsMetals
• 11 metals detected
• no age correlation except forHg
• Whole-body vs edibleconcentrations varied --higher whole-body valuesfor Sb, As, Cd, Cr, Pb, Ni,Ag
• Lead much, much, muchhigher in whole-body,exceeded LOC in all but 1sample
