%X Determination of aromatic hydrocarbons in coastal waters, using solvent extraction and fluorescence emission analysis, shows wide distribution of fuel oils with only a small contribution from crude oil. Oil concentrations are reported as equivalent amounts of m-terphenyl (T) or pyrene (P). Observed concentrations in Port Phillip Bay are generally 0.2-0.3 pg l-1 (T) and 0.1-0.2 pg l-1 (P), with higher values in Corio Bay and the Yarra River estuary.
