Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
Decahydronaphthalene served as a growth substrate for marine bacteria from 2 of 22 sampling stations between the Frobisher Bay (northwestern Canada) and the Bermudas. Generally, it was found that bacteria from areas where oil was present could grow on a wider range of hydrocarbon substrates than did bacteria from "clean" areas. The two positive samples had been taken at stations which showed chronic low levels of oil pollution (seawater sample near Halifax) or a small oil spill of unknown age (Frobisher Bay).

Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
