PCIMP Bioaccumulation Data from Oysters in Port Curtis Mid Harbour, 2007-2018

Bioaccumulation data collected by sensors deployed in the Port Curtis Integrated Monitoring Program (PCIMP) Zone 08 - Mid Harbour. The dataset was collected by the Australian Ocean Data Network and covers a time range from September 15, 2007, to November 16, 2018. The data likely contains measurements of contaminants or other substances accumulated in oyster tissues.
