The biogeochemistry of trace metals in nearshore sediments and mussel was studied at 15 stations along a 1000 km long transect paralleling the west coast of the Gulf of California (GOC). Total trace metal (Me) and enrichment factor (EFMe) values in sediments were low due to negligible anthropogenic influence in the region. Past copper mining, however, near Santa Rosalia caused concentrations of Pb, Mn, Co, Zn and Cu which were 10-3.3 x 10(3) times greater than the average for the rest of the transect Mussels also showed relatively high trace metal concentrations at the Santa Rosalia stations, but the variability in the spatial distribution was low and had undefined trends. Our results show that, with the exception of Co and Cu, the contamination caused by the copper mine affected sediments to a greater extent than mussels. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
