Prange et al., 2007:

River mouth monitoring

River mouth suspended sediment loads for the 2005/06 wet season calculated from mudlogger data (discharge weighted and total tonnes)

 River mouth nutrient loads calculated from samples collected during the 2005 dry and 2005/06 wet seasons

 
Regional minimum, maximum and average pesticides concentrations (and compound distribution) of total detected pesticides in river mouth waters (predicted using passive samplers)

Range in the concentration of total detected contaminants (DDT, dieldrin and PCBs) in mud crabs collected from river mouths (< LOD = less than limit of detection)
