The increasing numbers and types of potential pollutants in the world oceans calls for novel strategies for their assays. The 'Mussel Watch' well served the latter decades of the 20th century. For the immediate future, individual assays of the chemicals of concern should be replaced by the analyses of groups of pollutants which have a common impact upon marine organisms. Secondly, more attention should be focussed upon the benthos where many potential pollutants continue to accumulate. Impacts upon members of the marine biosphere may be recognized by population changes of individual species. Lastly, time frame monitoring studies should be initiated, so that long-term trends in the health of a system can be detected.
世界海洋中潜在污染物的数量和种类不断增加，这就需要采用新颖的检测策略。“贻贝观察”在20世纪的后几十年发挥了很好的作用。在不久的将来，对相关化学品的单独检测应被对具有共同影响的污染物组的分析所取代。其次，应更加关注底栖生物，许多潜在污染物仍在那里不断积累。对海洋生物圈成员的影响可以通过单个物种的种群变化来识别。最后，应启动时间框架监测研究，以便能够检测系统健康状况的长期趋势。
