The flavour and chemical assessment of dabs (Limanda limanda) caught in the vicinity of the Beatrice oil platform

Abstract

From the Abstract: “Dabs (Limanda limanda) caught in close proximity to the Beatrice Oil Platform have been assessed for the presence of an oil taint and chemically analysed for n-alkane and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons.Although contamination from petrogenic hydrocarbons was apparent, none of the fish were found to have a definite taint.”
