| Abstract: | Mixed No. 2 fuel oil and JP5 jet fuel, following an oil spill into Long Cove, Searsport, Maine, U.S.A., in March 1971 became concentrated locally at levels up to more than 250 ppm in intertidal sediments from 15 to 25 cm below the surface and continued until 1976 to kill successive year class juvenile clams as in normal growth behaviour they burrowed down through redistributed overlying clean sediments into the oil concentration beneath. |
