 oil spill 

 (Bjorn Guterstom) 



7.4.1 Introduction 



In order to determine if the oil had affected the community meta- 

 bolism in situ measurements in plastic bags were made on three typical 

 littoral communities of the northern Baltic: 



1. the Fucus vesiculosus community 



2. the Mytilus edulis community 



3. the "shallow soft bottoms" with Ma coma balthica and Hydrobia 

 spp. as the dominating macrofauna components.
