Do treatments of sewage plants really work?: The intertidal mussels' community of the southwestern Atlantic shore (38ºS, 57ºW) as a case study

To test the effect of the treatment plant of the Mar del Plata city, a series of samplings were carried out in the mussel beds around the sewage effluent. The hypothesis is that this treatment plant produces an effective mitigation process in the health of the environment, and cover and quantitative...

Mussel beds sewage impact SW Atlantic rocky shores To test the effect of the treatment plant of the Mar del Plata city, a series of samplings were carried out in the mussel beds around the sewage effluent. The hypothesis is that this treatment plant produces an effective mitigation process in the health of the environment, and cover and quantitative methods produce similar results being both useful for assessing sewage impact in intertidal mussels' community. Samplings were performed in four locations (Impacted, North, South and Control) and three stations were placed into each location. Replicated cover (ten 0.5 m² squares) and quantitative (four 78 cm² corers) data were obtained in each station four times during 2004, before and after each of the two stops of the treatment plant for maintenance. Analyses included non-parametric and parametric methods for both cover and quantitative data. Results showed significant differences in both cover and quantitative data for Before-After and among locations, in both parametric and non-parametric analyses.
