ROCCH biota NE Atlantic dataset : chemical contaminants in Channel and Atlantic shellfish

Rocch, the french "mussel watch", provides chemical data for marine quality management. Once a year, trace metals, organic compounds (chlorinated, PAH, brominated flame retardants, perfluorinated compounds, organotins ...) are analysed in molluscs tissues to check chemical quality according to European Framework Directives and to Regional Seas Convention (OSPAR).

Rocch，即法国的“贻贝监测计划（mussel watch）”，为海洋质量管理提供化学数据。每年，研究人员会依据欧洲框架指令及区域海洋公约（OSPAR），对软体动物组织中的痕量金属、有机化合物（氯化物、多环芳烃（PAH）、溴化阻燃剂、全氟化合物、有机锡……）进行分析，以评估其化学质量是否达标。
