2021年5月4日 · NOAA has identified tools and techniques to deter endangered killer whales from swimming through oil spills. How Fish Cope with Exposure to Oil [Video]: Offered by the Gulf of Mexico Sea Grant Oil Spill Science Outreach program, this short (< 3 minute) video describes how fishes’ bodies process oil they encounter in their environment.

The most serious threat of oil spills to fisheries and aquaculture activity is the economic loss arising from business interruption. Oil on the water and the application of temporary fishing and harvesting bans may prevent normal production, or a loss of market confidence may occur leading to price reductions or

2025年1月13日 · Oil spills can disrupt marine food webs, altering the balance of predator-prey interactions and nutrient cycling. When oil enters marine environments, it can directly affect primary producers like phytoplankton, which form the base of the marine food web.

2017年6月15日 · The scientific studies of the impact of oil spills on fish stocks tend to ignore that spatial patterns of natural mortality may influence the magnitude of the impact over time. Here, we first illustrate how spatial variation in natural mortality may affect the population impact by considering a thought experiment.

2015年9月8日 · A new study released today into the effects of the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska shows that embryonic salmon and herring exposed to very low levels of crude oil can develop hidden heart defects that compromise their later survival, indicating that the spill may have had much greater impacts on spawning fish than previously recognized.

2021年5月4日 · Since most oils float, the creatures most affected by oil are animals like sea otters and seabirds that are found on the sea surface or on shorelines if the oil comes ashore. During most oil spills, seabirds are harmed and killed in greater numbers than other kinds of creatures.

2010年6月5日 · Off-shore oil spills can do great harm to many components of natural ecosystems, and could be more topical at the moment with the situation in the Gulf of Mexico. This research from the University of Florida Extension looks at the effects of oil spills on marine wildlife.

Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska shows that embryonic salmon and herring exposed to very low levels of crude oil can develop hidden heart defects that compromise their later survival,...

Oil pollution toxicity to marine fish has been observed from oil spills such as the Exxon Valdez disaster, and from nonpoint sources, such as surface runoff, which is the largest source of oil pollution in marine waters. Crude oil entering waterways from spills or runoff contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), the most toxic components ...

Fish and other wildlife seem to be fleeing the oil out in the Gulf and clustering in cleaner waters along the coast in a trend that some researchers see as a potentially troubling sign. The...
