Sergeant C and Johnson W. 2018. SEAN environmental contaminants SOP 4: field and laboratory guidelines for tissue analysis of bay mussels. NPS
This standard operating procedure (SOP) covers all the necessary information for SEAN staff and partners to plan and execute the field work to collect, preserve, and ship bay mussels (Mytilus trossulus) to a laboratory contracted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Mussel Watch Program (NOAA MWP) for analysis of a broad suite of metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Tasks related to this SOP include obtaining the permits required to perform the field sampling, gathering required supplies, observing collection standards, and methodically handling and preserving samples for shipping.
