Toxicity Effects Of Dispersed Alaska North Slope Oil On Fish – Final Report, March 2013
This report describes the experiments conducted by research groups located at the St. Andrews Biological Station, Gulf Fisheries Centre, Bedford Institute of Oceanography; and Queen’s University. Environmental conditions, such as water temperature and salinity, may affect the toxicity of chemically and mechanically dispersed crude oil when accidental spills occur. Impacts of oil spills on local fish populations will also vary depending on the relative sensitivities of resident species and stocks.
