The concentrations of metals were determined in northwest (NW) coast of Portugal seawaters and soft tissues of goose barnacles Pollicipes pollicipes. P. pollicipes can be used for monitoring metal contamination in these coastal seawaters, because there were significant correlations (p<0.05) for all metals between soft tissues and seawaters during the four seasons. Metal concentrations in seawaters and P. pollicipes had significant (p<0.05) spatial and seasonal variations and mean log BAFs for Fe and Cd were higher than for Cr, Cu, Mn and Zn. Regarding the metal concentrations obtained in the coastal seawaters, all NW coast of Portugal should be classified as "Class IV--Bad", except two locations (location 7 at Summer and location 10 at Winter), which should be classified as "Class III--Moderate". However, considering the metal concentrations bioaccumulated in P. pollicipes, all locations should be classified as "Class III--Remarkably Polluted" during all seasons of 2011.
测定了葡萄牙西北部海岸海水中和鹅颈藤壶（Pollicipes pollicipes）软组织中的金属浓度。由于在四个季节中，海水中的所有金属与软组织之间均存在显著相关性（p<0.05），因此鹅颈藤壶可用于监测这些沿海海水中的金属污染。海水中和鹅颈藤壶中的金属浓度具有显著的（p<0.05）空间和季节变化，Fe 和 Cd 的平均 log BAF 高于 Cr、Cu、Mn 和 Zn。就所获得的沿海海水中的金属浓度而言，除两个地点（夏季的 7 号地点和冬季的 10 号地点）外，葡萄牙西北部海岸的所有地区均应被归类为“IV 类-差”，这两个地点应被归类为“III 类-中度”。然而，考虑到 2011 年所有季节中鹅颈藤壶生物累积的金属浓度，所有地点均应被归类为“III 类-严重污染”。
