Abstract
The application of fluorescence spectroscopic techniques to the uptake of aromatic hydrocarbons into the sandprawn, Callianassa kraussi, was examined. Animals were exposed to the water-soluble fraction of Qatar crude oil for up to 12 weeks, then depurated in clean seawater for up to 4 weeks. Fixed wavelength measurements showed the extent and rapidity of aromatic hydrocarbon accumulation into the hepatopancreas of C. kraussi These measurements, along with synchronous spectra, were useful in demonstrating differential accumulation of light and heavy aromatic hydrocarbons.
