Study aim: "A survey was undertaken in Gwangyang Bay during 2001–2002 on the status of pollution in water, sediment and several benthic species such as clams, bivalves, starfish, sea cucumber, polychaeta, crab, prawn, and fish. The study focused on the occurrence, composition and possible sources of PCBs."
