Produced water (PW), a large byproduct of offshore oil and gas extraction, is reinjected to
formations or discharged to the sea after treatment. The discharges contain dispersed crude …

With major oil spills in Korea, the United States, and China in the past decade, there has
been a dramatic increase in the number of studies characterizing the developmental toxicity …

Mechanical oil recovery (ie, booming and skimming) is the most common tool for oil spill
response. The recovered fluid generated from skimming processes may contain a …

Water contamination by crude oil is a growing challenge and little is known about the
probabilistic and non-probabilistic ecosystem and species consequences. Therefore …

Whether the result of an oil well blowout, vessel collision or grounding, leaking pipeline, or
other incident at sea, each marine oil spill will present unique circumstances and …

The developing fish heart is vulnerable to a diverse array of toxic chemical contaminants in
freshwater, estuarine, and marine habitats. Globally occurring examples of cardiotoxic …

Recent studies have shown that crude oil exposure affects cardiac development in fish by
disrupting excitation-contraction (EC) coupling. We previously found that eggs of Atlantic …

The effects of oil spills on marine biological systems are of great concern, especially in
regions with high biological production of harvested resources such as in the Northeastern …

Crude oil spills are a worldwide ocean conservation threat. Fish are particularly vulnerable
to the oiling of spawning habitats, and crude oil causes severe abnormalities in embryos …

Laboratory preparation of aqueous test media is a critical step in developing toxicity
information needed for oil spill response decision-making. Multiple methods have been …
