Abstract
Results from a monitoring programme conducted in the Bay of Arcachon b etween 1979 and 1991 reveal an increase of copper content in oysters h arvested in a zone located in the vicinity of marinas and mooring area s. This clearly perceptible increase recorded since 1982, may be attri butable to the growing use of copper paints subsequent to the antifoul ing paint regulations adopted in 1982.
