We chronicle the extensive influence over the past forty years of Professor Edward D. Goldberg and his call in 1975 for a "Mussel Watch" or bivalve sentinel organism approach to assess geographic status and temporal trends of several chemicals of environmental concern in the coastal ocean. Examples of local, regional, national and international programs are discussed briefly as are examples of interesting useful findings and limitations to the Mussel Watch concept. Mussel Watch continues to provide useful data about status and trends of chemical contamination in coastal ecosystems.
我们记录了爱德华·D·戈德堡教授在过去四十年间的广泛影响,以及他在1975年提出的“贻贝监测”或双壳贝类哨兵生物方法,用于评估沿海海洋中几种受环境关注的化学物质的地理状况和时间趋势。简要讨论了地方、区域、国家和国际项目的实例,以及贻贝监测概念的有趣有用发现和局限性实例。贻贝监测继续提供有关沿海生态系统化学污染状况和趋势的有用数据。
