Pathological investigations were carried out on 67 guillemots (Uria aalge) washed up on the Belgian coast between November 1993 and March 1994. Emaciation and acute haemorrhagic gastroenteropathy were observed in more than 70 per cent of the birds. There was no statistical relationship between the level of oil contamination and the severity of the lesions. Differences in bodyweight were accounted for by age, sex, emaciation, and acute haemorrhagic gastroenteropathy. The birds had a severe weight deficit but the concentrations of pollutants were below acutely toxic levels.
1993年11月至1994年3月间，对67只被冲到比利时海岸的海鸠（海鸠属）进行了病理调查。超过70%的鸟类出现消瘦和急性出血性胃肠病。油污污染程度与病变严重程度之间没有统计学关系。体重差异由年龄、性别、消瘦和急性出血性胃肠病引起。这些鸟类体重严重不足，但污染物浓度低于急性毒性水平。
