NIWA, unpublished MsComparison of parasites and lesions in two common interndal bivalve species from 2'uricontaminated' and 2 'contaminated' sites. The Onepo<strong>to</strong> Arm is considered'contaminated' whilst Pauatahanui Inlet is considered 'uricontaminated'. All bivalvestaken from all sites show moderate infections, none of which affected host health. Themost severe pathology of massive systemic congestion of mantle, gills and gut occurringin 20% of cockles from Pauatahanui Inlet. The cause of this is unknown; however, thefact that the surfaces that are inflamed are those exposed <strong>to</strong> the environmentsuggesis anenvironmental cause. Hence this site cannot be considered 'clean'. The pollutant cannotbe DDT as this pollutant would be higher in the inner part of the estuary closer <strong>to</strong> itssource. It is possible that PAH's sourced from roading are the cause (especially as SHIpasses over this site) but there is not a conclusive link of PAHs with inflammation ofcockles. Renal deposits are the most important deloxification for marine bivalve, andalthough Onepo<strong>to</strong> has elevated concentrations of metals, no cockles had renal deposits.Renal brown cells can also precipitate brown cells, but were found in Pauatahanui Inlet,notthe Onepo<strong>to</strong> Arm. Hence Pauatahanuilnletis not a 'clean' siteIwasaki, N. (1993). Distribution of melobenthic copepods from various habitats in PauatahanuiInlet, New Zealand.
