"A two-year study of pelagic tar in the eastern Gulf of Mexico has been conducted ... In general, results obtained during Year 2 confirmed and expanded the findings of Year 1. Surface concentrations of pelagic tar (expressed as the toluene extractable lipid) ranged from 0 to 20.81 mg m⁻₂ during Year 2 ... Pelagic tar found in the eastern Gulf of Mexico is primarily associated with the Gulf Loop Current. The overall two-year average concentration of pelagic tar found off the continental shelf ... was 1.37 mg m⁻₂ while the average on-shelf concentration ... was 0.10 mg m⁻₂. Thus, continental shelf areas around the eastern Gulf of Mexico appear to be quite clean with respect to pelagic tar ... "p.i.
