Mercury and explosive compound 4-aminodinitrotoluene (4-ADNT) in dab (Limanda limanda) caught at munition dumping site Kolberger Heide in the Kiel Bight, Baltic Sea

Dumped munitions contain various harmful substances which can affect marine biota like fish. One of them is mercury (Hg), included in the common explosive primer. Another is 4-aminodinitrotoluene (4-ADNT), an explosive-metabolite. 251 individual dab (Limanda limanda L.) caught at the dump site Kolberger Heide a and nearby reference sites in 2017 and 2018 were analysed. The table contain individual data on Hg, 4-aminodinitrotoluene, age, length, weight, sex and condition factor.

倾倒的军火内含多种有害物质，可对鱼类等海洋生物群落产生不良影响。其中一种有害物质为汞（mercury, Hg），常见于普通军用起爆药中；另一种为4-氨基二硝基甲苯（4-aminodinitrotoluene, 4-ADNT），属于炸药代谢产物。2017年至2018年间，研究人员在科贝格海德（Kolberger Heide）倾倒场及其周边参照采样点，共捕获251尾菱鲽（Limanda limanda L.）个体并进行了分析检测。本数据集附带的表格收录了各样本个体的汞、4-氨基二硝基甲苯含量，以及年龄、体长、体重、性别与条件因子等相关信息。
