Port Curtis Integrated Monitoring Program - Bio Accumulation

PCIMP monitored across 15 sampling zones (54 water sites) in Port Curtis assessing the water quality and health of Port Curtis, with sites ranging from the Narrows in the north to Colosseum Inlet in the south. Included in the zones were sites within the State and Great Barrier Reef Marine Park zones.OystersThree batches of ten (10) oysters were attached to buoys at each of the 54 sites across the Harbour. The oysters can accumulate metals from the water to provide an indication of the average concentration of metals in the water over the time they were deployed. Oysters were deployed two times a year in March and August and left in the water for approximately three months. Oysters are used to measure bioaccumulation of metals, metalloids and fluoride.

PCIMP在柯蒂斯港的15个采样区（含54个水域监测点）开展监测，旨在评估该港的水质与生态健康状况。监测点范围北起Narrows，南至Colosseum Inlet，涵盖州级及大堡礁海洋公园（Great Barrier Reef Marine Park）区域内的站点。

牡蛎监测

在整个港口的54个监测点中，每个点的浮标上均悬挂了3组牡蛎，每组10只。牡蛎可从水中富集金属元素，从而反映其部署期间水体中金属元素的平均浓度。牡蛎每年分两次部署（3月和8月），每次在水中放置约3个月，用于测定金属、类金属及氟化物的生物累积（bioaccumulation）情况。
