Ten benthic fauna taxa in a polluted marine area adjacent to McMurdo Station, Antarctica were deemed to be potential biomonitors because PCBs, DDTs, PAHs, copper, lead and/or zinc in their tissues were significantly higher than in tissues of taxa living in reference areas (p< 0.05). Concentrations of PCBs and DDT were highest inTrematomus(fish). Total PAH concentrations were highest inAlcyonium antarcticum(soft coral),Isotealia antarctica(anemone) andL. elliptica. Copper and lead concentrations were highest inLaternula elliptica(bivalve) andFlabegraviera mundata(polychaete), and lowest inTrematomusandParbolasia corrugatus(nemertean). However, copper concentrations were even higher in the asteroidsPerknaster fuscus antarcticus, Odontaster validusandPsilaster charcoti. Bioaccumulation factors for different species were highest for PCBs and DDT, and lowest for lead. Bioaccumulation of some contaminants are likely prevalent in benthic taxa at McMurdo Station, but concentrations are usually low relative to human consumption standards.
