Abstract

Sediment, seawater, and sea urchin samples were collected from eight reef areas during 1991-94. Concentrations of As, Al, Fe, Ni, Sb, and V were determined in the samples. Concentrations of metals in the sea urchin gonads, sediment, and seawater samples varied widely (p<0.01) and were largely affected by the sampling area. Concentrations of Fe and Ni decreased gradually from 1991 to 1994, but data were limited to ascertain the role of the 1991 Gulf War. The highest mean concentrations of Fe and Al were found in the gut content of the sea urchin samples. Concentrations of Ni, V, and Sb were relatively higher in the spine, shell and mouth samples.
