TY - JOUR PY - 2001// TI - Diatom numbers around the continental shelf break JO - American journal of forensic medicine and pathology A1 - Funayama, M. A1 - Mimasaka, S. A1 - Nata, M. A1 - Hashiyada, M. A1 - Yajima, Y. SP - 236 EP - 238 VL - 22 IS - 3 N2 - Diatom concentrations in seawater were examined monthly at four aquatic areas. Diatom concentrations inside a bay showed a monthly variation, but these were detectable. On the other hand, in the open sea around the continental shelf break, there were few diatoms in any season. When a person drowns in the open sea, the diatom test cannot be expected to function reliably.
