Abstract
The total hydrocarbon contents in the water at various depths and in the surface sediments of the South China Sea were estimated during the 1985 Matahari Expedition. High total hydrocarbon levels were detected in the water between Stations 1 and 16. The average mean values at 1 m 10 m and 20 m water depths were 0.96 ppm 0.99 ppm and 0.98 ppm respectively. Much lower values were found between Stations 17 and 24; the average mean values at 1 m 10 m and 20 m were 0.17 ppm and 0.16 ppm respectively. High total hydrocarbon contents were also detected in the sediments as 6.43-1332.13 mg/kg dry sediment. The results indicated that the Matahari Expedition study area was polluted with hydrocarbons
