- Abstract:
-
The presence of contaminants in estuaries has been
identified in both the scientific and popular
press as a major problem contributing to degraded
ecological resources and restricted harvest of
fish and shell fish resources due to human health
concerns. Reducing contaminant inputs and
concentrations , therefore, is often a major focus
of regulatory programs for estuaries.
Contaminants include both inorganic (primarily
metals) and organic forms originating from many
sources, including atmospheric depostion,
freshwater inputs, land runoff and point sources.
These sources are poorly characterized , except in
the most well-studied estuaries. Most
contaminants that are potentially toxic to
indigenous biological resources tend to bind to
particles , which ultimaltely are deposited at he
bottom of estuaries. This binding changes the
form of contaminants and removes them from the
water column; consequently, contaminants
accumulate in estuarine sediments. Sediment
contaminant concentrations were measured to aid in
interpretation of the spatial patterns observed in
the condition of biolgical resources in the
estuaries of the West Coast. EMAP monitoring
efforts have focused on sediment contaminants
rather than measurement of water column
contaminants because concentrations of
contaminants in sediments are less variable and
the sediment integrates contaminant inputs to
estuartis over time (i.e. months and years).
Metals in the sediment are derived from
anthropogenic sources or from natural geochemical
processes of weathering and erosion of the earth's
crust. The difficulty arises in identifying which
portion of the total metal content of the sediment
was due to natural processes and which was due to
human activities. Several methods can be used to
determine whether measured metal concentrations in
estuarine sediments represent
anthropogenically-enriched or natural conditions.

OVERVIEW: In 1999 the US EPA contracted the states
of Washington, Oregon, and California to conduct a
West Coast Estuary survey. There were 210
stations in the sample design, 18 of which were
not able to be sampled for a total of 192
successful measurements. DATA TYPES: Grabs,
Trawls, and Water Quality casts were conducted at
each of the stations to yield Benthic infauna,
Sediment Toxicity, Sediment Chemistry, Trawl Fish,
Macro Invertebrate, Debris, water column
characterization at one meter increments from
surface to bottom, and sediment grain size data.
These data types can be aggregated using the
StationID variable in each table. Missing

Fish and Ephibenthic Invertebrate Collection Fish
trawls will be conducted at each site, where
possible, to collect fish/shellfish for community
structure and abundance estimates, target species
for contaminant analyses, and specimens for
histopathological examination. Trawls will be
conducted by using a 16-ft otter trawl and the
duration of the trawl will be for 10±2 minutes;
replicate (two) trawls will be performed. Although
not required, it is strongly suggested that the
vessel used for trawling be equipped with a boom
or A-frame assembly and a powered winch. In
situations where the use of nominal craft is
prohibited (e.g., narrow stream or shallow
conditions), it is possible to manually deploy and
retrieve a small trawl, but it is not advised as
routine procedure. Trawling should be the last
field activity that the crew performs while onsite
because of their disturbance to conditions at the
site. In open water, the trawl should be
conducted in a straight line with the site
location near center. The replicate trawl can be
taken along the same general line by going in the
opposite direction; however, tides and seas
conditions may dictate the direction of the trawl.
Timing of the trawl begins after the length of
towline has been payed out and the net begins its
plow. The speed over bottom should be
approximately 3-4 knots. When possible, conduct
the trawl for the entire 10-minute period, after
which the boat will be placed in neutral and the
trawl net retrieved and brought aboard. Contents
of the bag will be emptied into an appropriately
sized trough or livebox to await sorting,
identifying, measuring, and sub-sampling. Every
effort will be made to return any rare or
endangered species back to the water before they
suffer undue stress. Community Structure Fish from
a trawl will be first be sorted by species and
identified to genus species. Up to thirty
individual per species will be measured by using a
fish measuring board to the nearest centimeter
(fork length when tail forked, otherwise overall
length - snout to tip of caudal). The lengths will
be recorded on a field form and a total count made
for each species. All fish not retained for
histopathology or chemistry will be returned to
the estuary. Invertebrates will sampled as
directed later (still under review). Contaminant
Analyses Several species of demersal fishes will
be designated as target samples for analyses of
chemical contaminants in whole-body tissue. The
target fish will be species of sole and dabs that
are ubiquitous along the US Pacific Coast. At
sites where target species are captured in
sufficient numbers, five individuals of a species
will be combined into a composited sample. The
fish will first be measured and recorded on the
sampling form as chemistry fish. The fish will
then be rinsed with site water, individually
wrapped with heavy duty aluminum foil, and placed
together in a plastic, ziplock bag labeled with
the Station ID Code and a Species ID Code (e.g.,
the first four letters of both the genus and
species). The fish chemistry samples will be held
on wet ice in the field until they are transferred
to shore where they will frozen to await
laboratory analysis. Gross Pathology All fish will
be screened in the field for external gross
pathologies as they are measured and counted for
the community structure evaluation. Each fish will
be briefly examined for any obvious external
conditions such as lesions, lumps, tumors, and fin
erosion; also, the gills will be examined for
discoloration or erosion. Any fish that exhibits a
pathological condition will be saved for further
laboratory histopathological evaluation. A generic
notation of the observed condition will be
recorded by field personnel on the Fish Data form.
A small section (~2 cm square )of the affected
area will be excised from the specimen by using a
clean scalpel or stainless steel scissors; if
possible the section should also include a portion
of the unaffected basal tissue immediately
adjacent to the pathology. The excised section
will be placed in a histological cassette
(provided by the NMFS laboratory), labeled, and
immediately preserved in Dietrich's solution to
await shipment to the laboratory. Multiple labeled
cassettes can be stored in a common container of
Dietrich's, as long as all of the cassettes are
completely submerged in the fixative. 133
Histopathological Examination of Fish Fish trawls
will be conducted at each of the CM sampling
stations where possible. The catch will be
inventoried by species and total length measured
for a representative subsample of each specie.
During the inventory, if a specimen is encountered
that exhibits an external gross pathology, it will
be preserved aboard and submitted to NMFS
pathologists for in-depth histopathological
examinations. Also, at selected intensive stations
(bayous stations), pathologists may accompany the
field crew to collect target species that require
immediate sample processing for additional
histopathological investigations. Because these
activities will be limited to events only when
affected fish are caught or those that produce the
selected target species, and because of the highly
specialized and research aspects of study, the CM
will not set QA standards for these
histopathological evaluations. However, standard
procedures for the routine laboratory examination
of finfish for pathological abnormalities are
described in Section 4 of the EMAP-Estuaries
Laboratory Methods Manual Vol.1 (US EPA, 1995).
The QA/QC recommendations for these studies are
that the samples be properly preserved (field
activity) and that qualified pathologists conduct
the laboratory examinations. Community
Structure Fish from a trawl will be first be
sorted by species and identified to genus species.
Up to thirty individual per species will be
measured by using a fish measuring board to the
nearest centimeter (fork length when tail forked,
otherwise overall length - snout to tip of
caudal). The lengths will be recorded on a field
form and a total count made for each species. All
fish not retained for histopathology or chemistry
will be returned to the estuary. Invertebrates
will sampled as directed later (still under
review). All Oregon trawls were manually deployed
and retrieved. At Oregon stations: Bottom trawls
were conducted at sample stations using a 16-ft
otter trawl with 1.25 inch mesh net to collect
data on fish community structure. Bottom trawls
were intended to retrieve demersal fishes and
benthic invertebrates. Fish data was used to
calculate fish abundance, species richness, and
the Shannon-Weaver diversity index H’ for each
station. Data was recorded for the first
successful standardized trawl in which fish were
caught. A successful standardized trawl was
defined as having a net bottom time of 10 +/- 2
minutes (no hangs or other interruptions) and 2-3
knots speed over ground. The field crew aimed to
trawl in a relatively straight line and over
station coordinates. Trawling was performed only
after water quality and sediment sampling were
completed. The trawl catch was brought on board,
put into a live well containing fresh site water,
and immediately sorted and identified.
Information was recorded on fish species, number
and length. Fish length was measured to the
nearest centimeter (fork length when tail forked,
total length if not forked) on up to thirty
individuals per fish species. Every effort was
made to return to the water as soon a possible all
fish that were not retained, with priority given
to any rare or endangered species. Only fish used
for chemical contaminant analyses or
histopathological examination were retained.
Fish data QA/QC measures include initial field
training on identifying ubiquitous U.S. West Coast
fish species, use of Pacific Northwest Coast fish
and invertebrate field guides, and collection of
field voucher specimens. Measurement accuracy
goals for counting and identification were ± 10 %
and for lengths, ± 1 cm. There are no precision
goals for fish community data.
